Hi, The CORE-CM seminar this week is:** * March 28: Alison Walker * /Department of Physics, University of Bath, UK / "Linking morphology and performance in nanostructured organic and hybrid solar cells" The abstract is below BPS 1400 at 12:00pm, Pizza and cookies available at 11:45am Phil Duxbury Full seminar list is at: http://www.pa.msu.edu/cmp/CORE-CM/SeminarSpring2013.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _Linking morphology and performance in nanostructured organic and hybrid solar cells_ Alison Walker, Department of Physics, University of Bath, UK I will show how the kinetic Monte Carlo technique I have developed has been used to model organic solar cell current-voltage-illumination characteristics for rod, blend and gyroid morphologies. I will also describe electrical transport modelling of dye-sensitized cells, DSC (electrolyte and solid state), and for water splitting. In this case I have shown how to predict impedance measurements from a drift diffusion model, looked at coupled electron-ion transport in dye-sensitized cells, and generalized these models to look at water-splitting cells using mesoporous electrodes.
