Abstract
The research of halide perovskite solar cells continues to boom with device energy conversion efficiency approaching that of single crystal silicon solar cells. Many unique properties have been discovered in halide perovskites, which may or may not explain the high efficiency in solution processed polycrystalline solar cells. I will present the advance in understanding the optoelectronic properties and electromechanical properties of halide perovskites. Our progress of material and device engineering of perovskite solar cells will also be presented and scaling up for commercialization will be briefed. The discovery of the extraordinary properties enables new application of halide perovskite in photodetectors, synapes, light emitting diodes, radiation detection beyond solar cells.
Biography: Jinsong Huang received his PhD degree in Material Science and Engineering from the University of California-Los Angeles in 2007. After working in Agiltron Inc. as a research scientist for two years, he joined the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2009 as an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, and was promoted to professor in 2016. He moved to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2017. His current research interests include solution processed electronic materials for applications in sensing, energy and consumer electronics. He has authored over 170 publications, and over 30 patents, 6 book chapters and 2 books. He served as the Chair of Material Engineering PhD Program at UNL, and was awarded as William E. Brooks Engineering Leadership Fellow in 2014, and Susan J. Rosowski University Professorship in 2015. He has received several awards including Edgerton Innovation Award (2012), NSF CAREER Award (2013), and DOD Young Investigator Award (2010).
