Scholar-generated biography
Piers R F Barnes is a researcher at Imperial College London with a focus on hybrid semiconductors, photovoltaics, solar hydrogen, and ice. His work explores ionic transport in hybrid lead iodide perovskite solar cells, reversible hydration of CH3NH3PbI3, and the dynamics of methylammonium ions in perovskite solar cells. Barnes investigates the efficiency of solar water splitting, the role of side chains in n-type conjugated polymers, and the structural, optical, and electrical properties of materials like hematite. His research also includes the interpretation of optoelectronic transient measurements in dye-sensitized solar cells and the development of water-based electrolytes for solar cell applications.
