Collaboration in Taiwan

From September 23-27, 2024, Assistant Professor Dr. Nopporn Rujisampha, head of the Laboratory Research for Interface and Surface Characterization (ISC) at KMUTT, visited Enlitech and the Research Center for Critical Issues at Academia Sinica, Taiwan, to advance research on perovskite solar cells. The purpose of this visit was to enhance collaboration, utilize cutting-edge technologies, and explore innovative solutions to the key challenges in perovskite photovoltaic research.

At Enlitech, Dr. Nopporn had access to advanced characterization tools, including quantum efficiency measurements, transient photoluminescence, and high-precision solar cell testing systems. These state-of-the-art instruments enabled the detailed analysis of optical and electrical properties in various perovskite layers, identifying performance bottlenecks related to surface defects and efficiency losses. Engaging with the technical experts at Enlitech allowed Dr. Nopporn to explore techniques for improving fabrication processes and addressing issues critical to the long-term stability of perovskite devices.

The Research Center for Critical Issues at Academia Sinica offered a platform for collaboration with leading experts in materials science and renewable energy. Dr. Nopporn engaged in discussions on strategies to combat ion migration, enhance surface passivation, and boost the environmental durability of perovskite solar cells. These discussions also included potential breakthroughs in interface engineering and the development of next-generation solar cell architectures that aim to increase both performance and longevity under practical operational conditions. This visit solidified future research collaborations and brought new insights to ongoing projects at KMUTT, specifically targeting stability improvements and performance optimization in commercial applications of perovskite solar cell technology.
