Event Overview
The ZERO Institute, in collaboration with St Catherine’s College and the Oxford Department of Chemistry, is hosting the 2nd annual John Goodenough Lecture. This event celebrates significant discoveries in science and engineering, particularly in the field of solar technology.
Featured Speaker
The guest lecturer, Prof. Michael Grätzel, is a renowned Professor of Physical Chemistry at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. He is celebrated for his pioneering work in photovoltaic technology, specifically the development of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs). These innovative solar cells mimic the natural process of photosynthesis, utilizing dye particles to convert sunlight into energy efficiently.
Lecture Focus
Prof. Grätzel will discuss the evolution of solar technologies, from DSCs to the emerging Perovskite Solar Cells, which are recognized as one of the most promising next-generation photovoltaic technologies. The lecture will cover advances in materials design, device architecture, and strategies for achieving high efficiency and stability in solar energy conversion.
Venue and Registration
The lecture will take place at St Catherine’s College, Oxford, starting at 4:30 PM. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance to secure their participation. More details on registration can be found on the ZERO Institute's website. This event is part of the ZERO Institute's commitment to fostering interdisciplinary research aimed at achieving zero-carbon energy systems.
