معرفی
Vincent Barrioz is a Professor at Northumbria University within the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering. His research focuses on photovoltaics, thin films, and sustainable energy technologies, with expertise in solar cells, electrocatalysis, and semiconductor processing. He actively collaborates on projects like the Advanced Thin Film Sputtering Fabrication Facility (TF-FAB) funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
- Education: PhD in Electronics (2002)
Key research areas include energy poverty mitigation, laser crystallization of thin films, and 3D structured electrodes for hydrogen generation. His recent work explores improving perovskite solar cells, CZTS absorber materials, and water-splitting electrocatalysts.
Notable contributions span laser annealing for energy-efficient production, carbon-based electrodes, and quantum dot luminescent down-shifting. He participated in oral presentations on additive manufacturing for hydrogen generation and co-authored studies on thin film sputtering and CdTe solar cells.
His collaborations extend to institutions like the EPSRC and co-authors such as Dr. Y. Qu and Dr. G. Zoppi. His work addresses challenges in urban accessibility, space solar technology, and environmental impact reduction in photovoltaics.
