Dr Joe Briscoe from the School of Engineering and Materials Science has been researching perovskite solar cells as an alternative to silicon. Perovskite is cheaper and, with development, just as efficient.
In our drive towards net-zero, solar cells are a vital part of the renewable energy offering. Dr Joe Briscoe and his team are exploring innovative manufacturing techniques to make perovskite solar cells more efficient and stable. This will offer extraordinary possibilities for cheap, flexible solar cells in a range of applications.
