Talk Series on Emerging Technologies – Science, Opportunities and Challenges 2024: The Solar Energy Solutions Towards Carbon Neutrality in Hong Kong
Venue:
Online
via Zoom
Description:
Hong
Kong government has set an ambitious goal of reaching carbon neutrality by
2050, and a critical strategy in its overall planning is to increase the
deployment of renewable solar energy. In this talk, the speaker will discuss
how we can rely on technological innovation to tackle this grand challenge; particularly,
we have identified a new generation of printable, flexible, transparent, and
colour-tunable solar cells as the most prominent photovoltaic technology to
promote solar energy deployment in Hong Kong. Such a new generation solar cell
technology can be integrated as tinted solar windows, façades, or curtains with
buildings to generate significantly more solar electricity in an urban city,
which usually has limited lands and rooftops for installing conventional
silicon solar panels.
The speaker, Prof. YIP Hin-Lap, Angus is a Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong. He is the associate director of Hong Kong Institute for Clean Energy. His research focuses on understanding the structure-property relationships, device physics and photophysics, device design and optimization of 1) organic solar cells, 2) perovskite solar cells and 3) perovskite light-emitting devices(LEDs).
