This project aims to design high-performance and low-toxicity perovskite semiconductors for efficient indoor light energy harvesting and conversion. By addressing the key challenges of material toxicity and device efficiency, the project is expected to unlock the full potential of low-toxicity perovskites as light absorbers for enabling efficient and practical indoor photovoltaics for various Internet-of-things devices. The advance of this renewable energy technology is expected to improve the sustainability of Australian residential lives, maintain Australia`s global competitiveness in clean energy research and contribute to Australia’s Climate Strategies and Plans by transforming to low-emission and efficient indoor power solutions.","funding-current":994980.00,"funding-at-announcement":973944,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Miaoqiang","familyName":"Lyu","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0003-0212-4325 "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Miaoqiang","familyName":"Lyu","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0003-0212-4325 "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"The University of Queensland","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"The University of Queensland","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4016","name":"Materials Engineering","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401605","name":"Functional Materials","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401805","name":"Nanofabrication, Growth and Self Assembly","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"170804","name":"Solar-Photovoltaic Energy","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"170899","name":"Renewable Energy Not Elsewhere Classified","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["France","Germany"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"Australian Government is targeting an emission reduction of 43% by 2023 and net zero by 2050 across the national economy. Innovations in cost-effective and energy-efficient technologies underpin the critical foundation for the achievement of this target. This research focuses on designing advanced semiconducting materials for efficient indoor light-to-electricity conversion, which can provide a promising and reliable power solution for various indoor Internet-of-things devices. By addressing the key challenges in the current state-of-the-art lead-based perovskite semiconductors, this project aims to develop high-performance lead-free perovskites for efficient indoor photovoltaics. The successful implementation of this project will significantly advance the fundamental research by expanding the knowledge base of areas of functional materials and sustainable energy, and will also enable practical uptake of the next-generation indoor photovoltaic technology for low-emission power solutions of various indoor electronics. This is well-aligned with the government`s Science and Research Priority of Energy, Australia’s Climate Strategies and Plans, and the Australian Government’s Powering Australia plan, which is expected to further bring immense economic and environmental benefits to Australia in the long run by supporting the growth of Australian industries in advanced materials and energy sectors.
