This is a $599,999 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA) for research on high-temperature metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar cells. The research aims to advance the technology readiness level (TRL) from 1 to 3, focusing on demonstrating technical feasibility, investigating device performance and stability, and studying the fundamental structure-property relationships. This grant is part of the "Lightweight and Flexible Metal Halide Perovskite Thin Films for High Temperature" major program. The award has no set-aside designation and is slated for completion by September 30, 2018. As a leading research university, UVA has extensive experience managing complex federally-funded projects and collaborating with government agencies, other academic institutions, and industry partners on a wide range of scientific and technical initiatives.
