From Lab to Fab: how nanoscale aluminium oxide enabled PERC and TOPCon to dominate the photovoltaic market

Professor Bram Hoex UNSW, Sydney

Thursday 20 Apr 2023 | Hume-Rothery Lecture Theatre
A Special Departmental Colloquium Abstract: In this talk I will describe the development of nanoscale aluminium oxide for the passivation of p-type silicon surfaces from its initial discovery in the laboratory to its current dominance in the photovoltaic industry with annual production in excess of 200 GW in 2022. I will start off with a high-level introduction into the fabrication of high-efficiency silicon [...]

Energy Seminar – Week 1: The UK energy demand observatory – how Oxford helps to understand and accelerate changes in energy demand

Phil Grunewald - speaking in person and online

Seminar | Week 5 | Tuesday 25 Apr 2023 | Atmosphere Room - ECI OUCE
The way we use energy will have to undergo fundamental changes during the transition towards a net-zero world. Many of the technical solutions are known: insulate homes, electrify heating and transport, deploy smarter, more efficient and flexible appliances. But how well do they work in practice? Tracking the impact requires careful observation and robust control groups. Oxford leads the technology and [...]

Just transitions and air travel: air travel inequality and distributional impacts of flight taxes

Prof Milena Buchs (University of Leeds)

Wednesday 03 May 2023 | Desert Room
Large demand reductions need to be realised in the transport sector for the UK to meet its climate targets. Scholars and policy makers increasingly acknowledge that demand reduction needs to be designed in a socially fair way that focuses responsibility on those who have contributed more to climate change and have more capacity to bear cost, while ensuring that the [...]
