The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Regents of the University of Colorado to design complex perovskite materials for solar energy conversion that have higher performances, better operational lifetimes, and use materials that are abundant and cheap.
The proposed project activities include purely theoretical and "Materials by design" computational methods which would be used to rapidly predict new perovskites with the desired properties. Proposed activities would be limited exclusively to intellectual, academic, or analytical activities and would include the research and development of a software tool to generate permit documents. Project participants would use no physical materials beyond basic office supplies and software.
