Overview:

In recent years, perovskite solar cells have been attracting enormous attention from academia as well as industry. To fabricate high performance perovskite solar cells, surfaces and interfaces are of paramount importance. My group at OIST is making concerted efforts to investigate relevant surfaces and interfaces in these materials and devices and to develop innovative strategies to improve their performance. In this talk, I will introduce our research progress.
