Number of Students: 1
Length of Study in Years: 4 years
Full-time Project: yes

Funding

Project Description

Printing perovskite semiconductors in ambient conditions is challenging, especially when using sustainable solvents. However, preliminary data from our group demonstrates that this is entirely feasible. This project will take on the challenge of fabricating large-area, high-stability devices by printing each device layer using sustainable precursors and implementing post-treatments for making thermally stable devices.

The PhD will join Stoichko’s lab and collaborate with Prof Lei Su, a leading expert in optical and imaging devices. The student will be based in the Department of Chemistry and will have the opportunities to attend national and international conferences, as well as collaborate with world leading groups.

QMUL is a member of the prestigious Russell Group and is ranked among the top 100 universities by U.S. News & World Report.
