Light Conversations: March

March Lecture:  Sustainable solar energy through exciton control 

Ensuring energy security as we transition towards renewable resources is a major challenge for governments around the world. While there are many competing technologies, solar is without doubt an irreplaceable component in the energy generation mix. To increase the contribution of solar, much research is being dedicated to improving the efficiency and lowering the costs of the technology.

Excitons are formed when light is absorbed by a material. In solar cells, excitons dissociate into free charges, resulting in electric power. Understanding and controlling the fate of excitons is key to improving existing technologies, as well as developing new ones.
