AMOLF Colloquium

Public colloquium

• Speaker: Prof. dr. Petra Cameron (Bath University)
• Title: Are emerging photovoltaics the future of solar energy?
• Abstract: There is a quiet energy revolution going on around us. Over half of Dutch energy demand is now met by renewables (the picture in the UK is similar) and in 2024 7% of global demand was met by solar cells and 8% by wind generation. In this talk I will introduce the extraordinary contribution that solar is making to the renewable energy transition and I will tackle some of the myths around solar energy. I will introduce perovskite solar cells and look at whether emerging solar technologies can be part of a true sustainable and circular economy. Finally I will give a brief introduction to our research which seeks to understand the ways in which perovskite solar cells can be improved by better exploiting the fundamental nature of the soft perovskite material.
