Future Photovoltaics Research Center

About the Center

The center focuses on the emerging direction of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), in line with the national strategies of actively responding to climate change by accelerating the growth of renewable energy. The center adopts an interdisciplinary approach to solve key scientific problems in the fabrication and commercialization of PSC, for making it a truly disruptive technology that can revolutionize the existing photovoltaic field. Starting from investigations in fundamental mechanisms, the center aims for high efficiency, high stability, and high reproducibility of PSCs. We combine cutting-edge characterization methods, advanced simulation theories, and novel manufacturing techniques, for creating new solutions, new processes, and new paths to promote groundbreaking innovations towards the realization of high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells.
