Semiconductor nanostructure architecture for light energy conversion

The project involves synthesis of chalcogenide and halide perovskite semiconductor nanoparticles for harvesting light energy and convert it into electricity (solar cells) or chemical energy (H2 generation). The energy and electron transfer processes are probed through spectroscopy techniques. A better understanding of photoinduced processes will assist in designing efficient light harvesting assemblies.
