Loughborough University has been awarded £2.6m to open a new national facility that will increase our understanding of how solar cells and other electronic devices that interact with light work. The properties of materials used in solar cells and optoelectronic devices are governed by processes that occur at the atomic scale. He commented: “We are very proud to have been chosen to host the National Facility for High Resolution Cathodoluminescence. “Loughborough University is well known for its research in solar cells, and CREST already has a reputation for world-class materials characterisation. “This facility will have a capability that is unique worldwide and the results will have a huge impact on our understanding of how solar cells work at the atomic level.
