Research Interests span photovoltaics, hydrogen storage, and semiconductor materials. Specific areas include:
- Scanning probe microscopies for material analysis
- Single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) purification and applications
- ITO replacement with nanotube films
- Lithium batteries and ultracapacitors
- Natural gas purification membranes
- Hydrogenase-SWCNT biohybrids
Article Trends emphasize:
• Perovskite-CdSeTe tandems targeting 30%+ efficiency
• Doping strategies (Bi, As, P) for voltage enhancement
• 2D modeling of back-interface recombination
• Space-qualified photovoltaics with lightweight substrates
• Hydrothermal Sb2S3 absorbers nearing 800 mV
• Ellipsometry-driven process calibration for thin-film uniformity
