Sargent, University of Toronto (Canada) Research: Solution-processed optoelectronic materials and devices, especially tin perovskite solar cells and quantum dot infrared photodetectors Hobbies: Basketball, music The greatest scientific advance of the next decade will be a performance leap of clean energy materials and system. Science is fun because there are lots of surprise. The most exciting thing about my research is the development of low-dimensional tin perovskite solar cells. I chose my current career path because of strong curiosity for an unknown world. I advise my students to stay curious and be persistent. A turning point in my career was joining ShanghaiTech University. My long-term goal is real applications of solution-processed optoelectronic materials and devices. My group has fun by having parties. My not-so-secret passion is to develop new materials and devices. I lose track of time when traveling. A good day at work starts with a cup of tea. My biggest inspiration is walking along the grand gallery in the campus. If I had one year of paid leave I would read and travel. The most important quality of a mentor is self-discipline. My favorite thing about my lab group is interdisciplinary research atmosphere. My favorite structure type is the cubic. My favorite place on earth is my hometown, a village at Hunan, central part of China. My favorite food is a home-made dried bean curd in my hometown. My favorite drink is green tea. My favorite music is rock. Behind the Science References 1The tin perovskite solar cell is emerging as an important thin-film photovoltaic technology. The improvement of its stability is an urgent task nowadays for which the combination of low-dimensional and inorganic scaffold structures is a promising approach. However, films based on low-dimensional inorganic tin perovskite structure usually show high defect density and inhomogeneous orientation. We spent a lot of time to address this problem without success. Accidentally, my student Hansheng discovered that a special reagent can help to grow a high-quality film. We then revealed the intermediate structure and clarified the kinetics of crystal growth.
