Scholarship Description: The high cost of solar cells based on silicon, has led to an intensive research effort into photovoltaic cells based on alternative materials, including conducting polymers. Solar cells based on organic polymers are cheap to fabricate, lightweight and flexible, as well as having a less negative environmental impact, but serious disadvantages from an operational point of view include their instability towards photo-chemical degradation and their low efficiency. However, it is considered that improvements in the efficiency of polymer-based photovoltaic cells are possible and prototype devices have already shown solar energy conversions of 8-10%.
Number of award(s): One studentship is available.
Duration of award(s): Studentship is offered for three years.
What does it cover? This studentship consists of full UK/EU tuition fees, as well as a Doctoral Stipend matching UK Research Council National Minimum (£14,057 p.a. for 2015/16, updated each year).
