Workshop Focus
DOE EFRC support has provided an unprecedented opportunity for energy researchers to address fundamental challenges in solar energy conversion. The purpose of this workshop is to engage EFRC researchers in understanding the history, the outstanding challenges and accomplishments in the photovoltaics and solar energy conversion field. With this context, the workshop will help identify i) fundamental limits to light absorption, carrier collection and conversion efficiency ii) already solved problems (i.e., where limits have been reached) and iii) outstanding opportunities (important unsolved problems). Program includes plenary talks, and ample time devoted to lively, candid discussion in interactive breakout sessions.
Who should attend
Faculty, staff, postdoctoral and graduate student researchers from the EFRCs focused on solar energy conversion.
