Chika Okolo, an NSF RET Program teacher, worked with us over the summer to understand the fabrication of perovskite solar cells and how to incorporate them into high school teaching! He presented his work on understanding halide perovskite solar cells and optimizing hole transport layers at the Rice Engineering STEM symposium!…

Congratulations to Austin, Ayush, and Faiz for publishing their work in Nature Communications!
Austin, Ayush, and Faiz worked on developing a novel barrier called the conductive adhesive barrier (or CAB) to protect the surface of the perovskite photoabsorber from electrolyte corrosion while retaining the charge collection efficiency by >99%. This enables the use of halide perovskite solar cells as photoelectrochemical cells that can directly convert sunlight to hydrogen…
