Zhenchuan Tian田振川

PhD Student in Perovskite Photovoltaics

Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Barcelona

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.
