Enabling low-toxicity perovskites for next-generation indoor photovoltaics (2026-2030)
Abstract
This project aims to design high-performance and low-toxicity perovskite semiconductors for efficient indoor light energy harvesting and conversion. By addressing the key challenges of material toxicity and device efficiency, the project is expected to unlock the full potential of low-toxicity perovskites as light absorbers for enabling efficient and practical indoor photovoltaics for various Internet-of-things devices. The advance of this renewable energy technology is expected to improve the sustainability of Australian residential lives, maintain Australia`s global competitiveness in clean energy research and contribute to Australia's Climate Strategies and Plans by transforming to low-emission and efficient indoor power solutions.
