PEROVSKITE / PHOTOVOLTAICS / X-RAY DETECTION
We believe access to energy and healthcare should not depend on where you live. That is why we develop affordable photovoltaics to address global energy inequality and create cost-effective X-ray detectors to expand access to life-saving medical imaging, all powered by machine-driven materials synthesis and discovery.
We upscale perovskite solar cells to surpass the 25% sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency milestone.
We will NOT stop working on this project until at least half of the globe is powered by green energy.
We develop sensitive X-ray detectors for next-generation medical imaging application.
We will NOT stop until medical X-ray imaging becomes accessible, safe and able to resolve 10 μm features.
We love systematic studies, but allow our curiosity and intuition to discover and design unseen materials for unseen applications. We work on the Automated and Machine-Learning-guided discovery of new materials.
Single crystals are free of grain boundaries, leading to significantly low defect densities, and thus hold promise for high-efficiency devices. We develop strategies to grow crystals through self-assembly, to perfect them and to integrate them into functional devices. We believe that any material that relies on charge carrier diffusion will eventually equilibrate in its highest quality.
