Low-cost and efficient perovskite indoor photovoltaics for wireless Internet-of-Things devices
In the past decade, perovskite indoor photovoltaic (IPV), a new type of photovoltaic technology, has been rapidly emerging as a promising IPV candidate due to its earth-abundant elements, low-temperature and solution-based manufacturing, and high achievable efficiencies under indoor conditions. However, a widespread uptake of this technology still faces some issues, such as lead toxicity in existing perovskite materials, further improvement of efficiencies and reduction of manufacturing cost. To address these issues, this project will develop low-cost and efficient perovskite IPV technology as a cheaper and more sustainable solution for portable power sources for autonomous IoT prototype products. This is an Fellowship support scheme scholarship project that aligns with a recently awarded Australian Government grant. This project will also offer opportunities in industry collaboration and experience in device prototyping with local Australian companies.

Enabling low-toxicity halide perovskites for efficient indoor photovoltaics
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) market has experienced exponential growth over the past decades, with around 11.3 billion connected devices by the end of 2020 and a projection of 27 billion by 2025. As most IoT devices operate over wireless networks, off-the-grid portable power sources are essential integration components. Indoor photovoltaics (IPV) can capture indoor light energy and directly convert it into electricity, which provides a promising solution to sustainable and reliable portable power sources. The IPV market has witnessed a rapid increase in the past few years with different competing candidate technologies. Halide perovskites have emerged as the most promising candidate for the next-generation IPV technology due to their low cost, high efficiency and ease of scale-up fabrication via various solution processes. However, the state-of-the-art IPV devices are based on lead halide perovskites, which is unfavourable for indoor applications due to the inclusion of toxic elements and the current efficiency is relatively low. This project aims to design low-toxicity perovskites to address these challenges and enable practical IPV applications by unlocking the full potential of these emerging materials.

Printed flexible optoelectronics for wearable and healthcare applications
This project aims to revolutionize personalized medicine by developing high-performance, printed flexible optoelectronic devices. Conventional electronics are often too rigid for long-term physiological monitoring; however, the next generation of healthcare technology requires skin-like interfaces that are conformable, lightweight, and seamlessly integrated with the human body. The research focuses on the synthesis and optimization of advanced functional materials specifically tailored for solution-processed manufacturing. By leveraging techniques such as slot-die coating and screen printing, the project moves away from costly, high-vacuum fabrication toward scalable and cost-effective production. The resulting platform will be validated through wearable and healthcare applications. By bridging material science and device engineering, this project provides the fundamental building blocks for unobtrusive, real-time diagnostics, ultimately improving patient outcomes through proactive, personalized data collection.
