Dr. Joseph Berry seminar
Dr. Joseph Berry, Senior Research Fellow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), will deliver a seminar, "Priorities for Creating a Perovskite Paved Pathway to Multi-Terawatt scale Photovoltaics" on Tuesday, September 12 at 1:25 p.m.
Abstract:
This talk will consider the future of metal halide perovskite (MHP) photovoltaic (PV) technologies and priorities for research and development activities in the context of terawatt scale goals. The goals for PV technologies generally and perovskites specifically will be discussed from a technical perspective. In particular, considerations to having successful impact in the context of CO2 targets and sustainability that inform near and longer-term research development and deployment goals for MHP enabled PV will be discussed. To facilitate this an overview of current state of the art results for MHP based single junction, and multi-junctions in all-perovskite or hybrid configurations with other PV technologies will be presented. This will also include examination of performance of MHP-PVs along both efficiency and reliability axes for not only cells but also modules placed in context of the success of technologies that are currently widely deployed.
Bio:
Dr. Joseph Berry is a a Senior Research Fellow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. His current work focuses on metal halide perovskite semiconductors for solar cells and other optoelectronic device applications. He has experience across multiple photovoltaic technologies as well as doing work in other energy related applications (e.g., light emitting diodes, circularity). His efforts emphasize relating basic interfacial properties to relevant device level behaviors in traditional and novel semiconductor heterostructures including oxides, organics and most recently hybrid semiconductors. He is also a principal investigator on the NREL lead Department of Energy, Solar Energy Technology Offices “Advanced Perovskite Cells and Modules” program, the director of the US-Manufacturing of Advanced Perovskites (US-MAP) Consortium, a thrust lead in the Center for Hybrid Organic Inorganic Semiconductors for Energy (CHOISE) a DOE Energy Frontier Research Center and a Fellow at the Renewable And Sustainable Energy Institute, a joint energy institute between the University Colorado Boulder and NREL.
