This Discussion will focus on the next generation of inorganic thin-film solar cells based on Earth abundant non-toxic materials. The meeting is for all researchers working on inorganic materials for thin-film photovoltaics including established and early-career scientists, post-graduate students and industrial researchers.
The Faraday Discussion will be organised into the following themes:
Indium-free CIGS analogues
Novel chalcogenides, pnictides and defect-tolerant semiconductors
Material design: structure and bonding
Bulk and surface characterisation techniques of solar absorbers
