Overview

 This research area will lead to proposals for next generation solar cells. The aim is to build new basic technology for the future practical use of solar cells by promoting the fusion of different areas through the participation of researchers from a wide range of areas, such as chemistry, physics, and electrical engineering.
Specifically, it targets dye-sensitized, organic thin film, and quantum dot type high performance solar cell research, and research on silicon and compound solar cells with approaches that differ from the conventional. At the same time, basic research, such as surface control technology, membrane and crystal growth, development of new materials, new processes, and new device structures that lead to creation of solar cells based on completely new principles, is also included. With an emphasis on the creation of next generation solar cells, a wide range of research from theoretical studies to process research for practical use is included in this research area.
