Surface engineering of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The way that molecules interact with interfaces play a key role in the manufacture and performance of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSC). In
order to maximise the performance of ssDSC, it is important to understand the interactions and t... Read More about Surface engineering of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.

This paper reports a rapid (5 min), low temperature (120 �C) method to platinize the counter electrodes
of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) devices. This new method uses aqueous solutions and is based on chemical
bath deposition of an activating Pd... Read More about Rapid, 5 min, low temperature aqueous platinization for plastic substrates for dye-sensitized solar cells.

Low cost triazatruxene hole transporting material for >20% efficiency perovskite solar cells (2018)
Journal Article

Organic hole-transporting materials (HTM) have shown excellent ability in achieving high efficiency
perovskite solar cells. However, their high cost significantly limits their applications in scaling-up
perovskite solar cells. Here, we report an ef... Read More about Low cost triazatruxene hole transporting material for >20% efficiency perovskite solar cells.

A perspective on using experiment and theory to identify design principles in dye-sensitized solar cells (2018)
Journal Article

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have been the subject of wide-ranging studies for many
years because of their potential for large-scale manufacturing using roll-to-roll processing
allied to their use of earth abundant raw materials. Two main chal... Read More about A perspective on using experiment and theory to identify design principles in dye-sensitized solar cells.

Digital imaging to simultaneously study device lifetimes of multiple dye-sensitized solar cells (2017)
Journal Article

In situ degradation of multiple dyes (D35, N719, SQ1 and SQ2) has been investigated simultaneously using
digital imaging and colour analysis. The approach has been used to study the air stability of N719 and
squaraine dyes adsorbed onto TiO2 films... Read More about Digital imaging to simultaneously study device lifetimes of multiple dye-sensitized solar cells.

A novel dimethylformamide (DMF) free bar-cast method to deposit organolead perovskite thin films with improved stability (2016)
Journal Article

We report a solvent-free approach to synthesizing organolead
perovskites by using solid state reactions to coat perovskite crystals
onto Al2O3 or TiO2 nanoparticles followed by addition of terpineol
affording perovskite inks. We have bar cast thes... Read More about A novel dimethylformamide (DMF) free bar-cast method to deposit organolead perovskite thin films with improved stability.

Equilibrium and dynamic vapour water sorption properties of biochar derived from apple wood (2014)
Journal Article

The water vapour sorption properties of biochar derived from apple wood (Malus sp.) have been studied.
The biochar used in the study were formed from wood samples taken from different parts of the trunk
and they exhibited different cell wall densit... Read More about Equilibrium and dynamic vapour water sorption properties of biochar derived from apple wood.

Assessing climate risk and strengthening resilience for UK Higher Education Institutions
Preprint / Working Paper

This working paper will support higher education institutions to develop processes to assess their risk to their current and future climate risks, put in place plans to adapt to these risks, and identify opportunities to strengthen their resilience....
