The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $124,910 Project Grant to Arizona State University (ASU) on January 1, 2024 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant supports research to improve the efficiency and affordability of thin-film photovoltaic devices based on earth-abundant low-dimensional chalcogenide materials. Key activities include: 1) understanding the anisotropic growth mechanisms and carrier transport properties of the chalcogenide absorbers, 2) tailoring the bandgap through alloying to optimize photovoltage and photocurrent, 3) engineering defects and interfaces to reduce recombination and increase carrier extraction, and 4) conducting doping to enhance carrier density and lifetime. The project aims to advance this emerging solar cell technology towards commercialization to provide more affordable solar electricity. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
