The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry has awarded a $505,000 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop nonlinear time-of-flight spectroscopic techniques for studying transport mechanisms in layered perovskite solar cells. The grant will enable Professor Andrew Moran and his research group to construct an instrument to precisely measure electron drift and diffusion within perovskite materials used in solar cells. This will involve leveraging multi-pulse laser spectroscopy to overcome limitations of traditional single-pulse time-of-flight methods. The resulting insights into electron transport processes could lead to performance improvements in perovskite-based photovoltaic devices. The project will also provide valuable technical training for students in areas like optics, electronics, and laser-based measurement systems.
