Multi-Junction Discovery

Über

  • Our group, the Multi-junction Discovery Group, focuses on establishing a data-driven, high-throughput paradigm for next-generation photovoltaic research and development. We aim to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit and accelerate the discovery of high-performance solar cells by moving beyond traditional trial-and-error approaches.
  • Leveraging automated spin-coating, blade-coating, evaporation, and characterization platforms, we enable large‑scale, highly reproducible fabrication and measurement of novel photovoltaic devices, including organic photovoltaics (OPV), perovskite solar cells, and perovskite-based tandem devices. By integrating machine learning with high-throughput experimentation, we systematically investigate the complex relationships between processing conditions, material properties, and device performance, with the long-term goal of developing reliable, efficient, and industrially viable photovoltaic technologies.
