Four students from the MPEM group received their doctorate degrees and were hooded by Dr. Mohite at the Rice graduation ceremony. We will surely miss them at Rice!…
Faiz Mandani, 4th year PhD student in the MPEM group presented his work on the CAB-enabled solar hydrogen production at the annual REINVENTS conference and won the poster competition….
Dr. Hou is the fifth student to graduate from Dr. Mohite’s group. He successfully defended his work on “Synthesis of 2D Halide perovskite via kinetic and thermodynamic control.” He will pursue a postdoc at Northwestern University under Dr. Ted Sargent and Dr. Bin Chen on perovskite tandem solar cells! We wish him the best of…
Congratulations to Hao Zhang from the Applied Physics Program for successfully defending his thesis on Studying exciton photo-physics in 2D halide perovskites! He will continue to work with the Woodside-Rice Decarbonization accelerator program to study the conversion of CO2 and CH4 to carbon products….
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!…
Siraj Sidhik becomes the first student to graduate from the MPEM lab after spending more than 5 years with our lab! He will soon be joining Cubic PV to continue his efforts in making high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells! Congratulations, Dr. Siraj!…
This award is presented to Dr. Aditya Mohite of Rice University for achieving an integrated halide perovskite photoelectrochemical cell with record-setting solar-driven water-splitting efficiency of 20.8%. Mohite’s system exhibited extended durability due to a novel graphite anticorrosion barrier that translates >99% of photoelectric power directly to hydrogen production. His work increasing the durability and efficiency…
