Advanced Sustainable Energy Laboratory

ASEL (Advanced Sustainable Energy Laboratory) focused on the design of Thin Film Solar Cells, Dye/QDs Sensitized solar cells and fabrication of air atmosphere processed Perovskite Solar Cells, novel smart surfaces for energy storage materials, supercapacitor electrodes, and electro/photo catalysis of water splitting for efficient hydrogen production, Zinc-Air Battery, Metal oxides and Nanostructured materials.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and Quantum Dot sensitized solar cells (ODSSCs) have arisen as a technically and economically alternative to the p-n junction photovoltaic devices. We synthesis nano-flakes and nano-platelet chalcogenides as an effective counter electrode.

Perovskite Solar cells (PSCs) are emerging thin film solar cells. We develop stable open atmosphere processed perovskite solar cell for green environment and explore the stability concern of hybrid perovskite solar cells.

Supercapacitors is a high power density capacitor used in application requiring rapid charge/ discharge cycles. It can replace batteries if energy density is increased. We develop nanostructured materials that possess high specific capacitance, excellent rate performance and cycling stability. This makes nanostructures as a potential electrode material for supercapacitor applications.

Electro (Photo) Catalysis for Water electrolysis is a promising sustainable hydrogen production technology to provide clean and storable chemical fuel to meet the growing global energy demand, mitigate greenhouse gas emission, and provide a solution to the concerns about sustainable energy supplies. To meet this, we develop highly stable electro catalyst and photo catalyst.
