research overview |
<p><span>The research in our laboratory is focused on understanding and controlling
surface and interfacial materials chemistry and applying this knowledge to a range
of problems in semiconductor processing, nanotechnology, and sustainable energy. The
role of interfaces becomes increasingly important as system dimensions are scaled
downward. For example, most electronic and optoelectronic devices are undergoing rapid
scaling, with lengths moving into the nanometer range and the surface to volume ratio
becoming very large. The function of many next-generation electronic and nanoscale
devices will therefore depend critically on the ability to control and modify the
properties of their interfaces. One of the examples are Graphene see below</span></p><h3>Graphene</h3><p>For
example Graphene and fucntionalised graphene represent a promising photovoltaic technology
and supercapactior. The original design includes a monolayer of graphene and functionalized
graphene surfaces adsorbed on a high-porosity conducting transparent electrode (the
electron transporter) surrounded by an iodine electrolyte solution (the hole conductor).<br

style="height:auto; display:block" /></p><p>(Figure shows the representation of low
cost flexible solar cells)<br /> </p><p>Functionlaised graphene surfaces/ dopant
predicted to give half of the sheet resistance. The flexible organic solar cells,
which will fabricated on a plastic or Zenor substrate, retained a power conversion
efficiency of 2.5–2.6%, regardless of the bending conditions, even up to a bending
radius of 5.2 mm. The resultant systems are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, and synchrotron
methods, and by solar cell testing techniques including photoluminescence quenching
and current-voltage measurements.<br /> </p><p><img alt="Graphene Layers" class="ou-pull-left"

/>Copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) is one of the most promising absorber technologies
for thin film photovoltaics, and variations on CIGS solar cells are currently being
manufactured by several solar cell companies. Sunlight is absorbed in the CIGS layer,
and the charge is extracted and transported through the buffer layer before being
collected by the electrodes. The most promising buffer layer is a very thin layer
of cadmium sulfide deposited via chemical bath deposition; however, due to health
concerns involved with cadmium, other materials are being studied for buffer layers,
and plasma enchanced chemical vapour depositon is one most promising alternatives
for depositing these thin layers of n-type semiconductors. We are currently looking
at new materials and methods for the buffer layer deposition in CIGS photovoltaics
via PECVD and understanding the surface and interface effects through various spectroscopic
techniques…</p><p> </p><h2>Our Experimental Facilites </h2><ul><li>Ultra
