Hunt Perovskite Technologies Awarded Funding from Department of Energy
- Hunt Perovskite Technologies (HPT) today revealed that it has actually been chosen for an award of $2.5 million in financing from the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office Fiscal Year 2020 Perovskite Funding Program.
In addition, HPT is likewise co-Principle Private investigator and collaborative companion in 2 other DOE perovskite funding honor options, including a $1.5 million honor to SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory as well as a $1.25 million honor to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC).
" To be chosen for one honor is undoubtedly an honor, however to be part of 3 separate honors is superior," said Michael D. Irwin, chief technology officer for HPT. "These honors even more verify the high quality of our research in making sturdy and also effective perovskite innovation a commercial fact, and also we are grateful to the DOE for their belief in our work."
For its $2.5 million honor as Concept Investigator, HPT will collaborate with the UNITED STATE Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Design Lab (ERDC-CERL) and with UNC to create and also demonstrate highly-efficient, highly-durable and lead-safe perovskite solar PV modules utilizing HPT's slot-die finishing manufacturing procedure.
For the $1.5 million award in collaboration with SLAC, HPT will certainly collaborate with SLAC and also DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to study perovskite with innovative characterization devices to boost the efficiency and also intrinsic stability of perovskite PV products as well as tools.
For the $1.25 million honor in cooperation with UNC, HPT will certainly collaborate with UNC and NREL to study and create reliable as well as stable formamidinium-cesium perovskite solar PV materials as well as gadgets.
" Being selected for 3 awards plainly reveals the great capacity of HPT," claimed Professor Jinsong Huang, Louis D. Rubin Jr. Differentiated Professor at UNC. "The joint awards with HPT will certainly aid us to interact to address the upscaling and also security concerns of perovskite solar cells and also move the university innovations into industrial items. I am very delighted about this opportunity to collaborate with HPT."
