materials science topic “Diamond-based photovoltaics for advanced
sustainable energy”, under the supervision of associate professor
doc. Antonio Cammarata PhD.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The
rapid increase in energy demand necessitates the development of
highly efficient photovoltaic (PV) generators. Currently,
conventional PV materials are constrained by the Shockley-Queisser
limit, which can be surpassed by integrating multiple
photon-to-current conversion processes. In this context,
diamond-based materials emerge as strong candidates for
next-generation PV devices. </font><font size="4"
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Our
objective is to develop novel nanostructured diamond-based
materials
for advanced PV applications, leveraging the unique properties of
the
diamond structure. The ultimate goal is to create PV materials
capable of generating electric current through multiple physical
mechanisms beyond the standard photovoltaic effect, including
multiple exciton generation, singlet fission, and thermoelectric
conversion. To achieve this goal, doped-diamond systems will be
considered. The thermal stability of selected compounds under
operating conditions will be assessed by means of molecular
dynamics
simulations with Machine Learning force field parameterised
on-the-fly on ab initio data. Additionally, quantum mechanical
calculations will be used to characterize electronic structure,
photocurrent generation and transfer in terms of geometric and
electronic dopant environment.</font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="4"> </font><font
size="4" face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">We
will exploit access to High Performance Computing centers to
accelerate our computational efforts. The project’s outcomes will
serve as a guide for designing diamond-derived PV materials for
multiprocess photon-to-current conversion, ultimately contributing
to
the development of innovative energy harvesting solutions</font><br>
