Zhenchuan Tian田振川

I am a PhD candidate at Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, supervised by Prof. Monica Lira-Cantú. My research focuses on engineering high-efficiency perovskite solar cells and all-perovskite tandem architectures, with particular emphasis on bulk and interficial engineering, and long-term operando stability characterisation.

Prior to my PhD, I completed a Master of Multidisciplinary Research in Experimental Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (BIST Joint Master Programme, 2023–2024) and a Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Science and Engineering at Sichuan University of Science and Engineering, China (2019–2023).

During a research visit at Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (Feb–May 2025, supervised by Prof. Zaiwei Wang), I achieved single-junction PCEs exceeding 26% — approaching state-of-the-art certified performance.
