Introduction
Professor Liyuan Han has great attainments in novel low-cost solar cells including dye-sensitized solar cells and perovskite solar cells.
He proposed the equivalent circuit model for dye-sensitized solar cells for the first time, which contributed to improving the conversion efficiency and long-term stability. Through in-depth and systematic research on the electron transport mechanism, he achieved the world records of highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells and modules for several times.
In recent years, Professor Liyuan Han turned on his interest to investigation of the perovskite solar cells and made major breakthroughs. In 2015, Science published his work on the heavy-doped inorganic materials to improve the charge transfer capability and enhance the stability of the device. For the first time, a world record of the device certification efficiency of 15% for 1 cm2 was obtained. In 2017, Nature published his work on the large-area and uniform perovskite films by a pressure-assisted method under atmosphere and low temperature without vacuum or solvent. In this work, he obtained the first world record of certificated large-area perovskite module, which provides a novel route for large-scale production of low-cost photovoltaic modules.
Professor Liyuan Han is an inventor of more than 150 patents and an author in ca 200 scientific papers on top-level journals such as Science, Nature, Nature Energy, Energy & Environmental Science, and Advanced Materials in the field of next generation solar cells.
His current research interests involve fundamental research in next generation solar cells such as perovskite solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells, to fabricate large-area, highly efficient and stable solar cells for commercialization.
