The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the University of Washington (UW) to synthesize organic compounds for incorporation into lead-halide perovskite solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. The project would seek to improve perovskite solar cells’ radiative efficiency by reducing recombination losses. The project would include fabrication of sample novel perovskite solar PV cells and material testing of the sample cells. The project would be completed over two Budget Periods, with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
