Dr Kaiwen Sun
Dr Kaiwen Sun is an ARC DECRA Fellow & Senior Lecturer at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ. He completed his PhD in investigating interface engineering in CZTS thin film solar cells at the University of New South Wales (»Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ) in 2018. After completion of his PhD, he was awarded Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) research fellowship in 2017 and ARC DECRA Fellow in 2022.His research focuses on developing high-efficiency earth-abundant and non-toxic Cu based chalcogenide thin film solar cells, which enables broadening the application of PV technologies into niche market and exploring high bandgap top cell alternative for Si-based tandem cell.
His main research interests are currently:
- Cu based chalcogenide thin film solar cells (CZTS, CIGS)
- New PV materials (Sb2SSe3, Adamantine materials)
- Photoelectrocatalysis, Solar fuels
- Publications
- Media
