Chen Hao, Associate Professor and Doctoral Supervisor, was selected for the National and Shanghai High-Level Young Talents Program in 2024 and was named one of the MIT Technology Review "Innovators Under 35" for the Asia-Pacific region in 2025. His research focuses on perovskite optoelectronic materials and devices, achieving a series of internationally leading results in inverted structure (p-i-n) perovskite photovoltaics and all-perovskite multi-junction tandem photovoltaics. He has set world records for certified efficiencies in single-junction perovskite photovoltaic devices, achieving 26.15% for small-area devices and 25.2% for large-area devices. He was the first to achieve certified efficiencies in inverted structure (p-i-n) perovskite photovoltaic devices surpassing those of traditional regular structure (n-i-p) devices. As the first author (including co-first authors) and corresponding author, he has published numerous high-level papers in internationally renowned journals such as Science (3 papers), Nature (3 papers), Nature Photonics, Nature Materials, Nature Energy, Nature Nanotechnology, JACS, EES, and Advanced Materials (4 papers). He currently serves as a young editorial board member for journals such as Nano-micro Letters, eScience, and InfoMat, and has been invited as a reviewer for over 20 leading international journals, including Science and Nature Energy. The research group is seeking highly motivated doctoral students, master's students, and jointly supervised students to pursue research. Outstanding postdoctoral researchers with a background in chemistry, materials science, or related fields are also welcome to join in exploring the frontiers of perovskite optoelectronic materials and devices.
