LOS NANOCRISTALES (NC) INORGANICOS PROCESABLES EN SOLUCION HAN RECIBIDO UNA GRAN ATENCION COMO UNA TECNOLOGIA EMERGENTE CAPAZ DE ABORDAR EL RETO DEL TW EN CELDAS SOLARES. ESTOS NANOMATERIALES OFRECEN UNA OPORTUNIDAD UNICA PARA CONTROLAR LAS INTERACCIONES DE LUZ-MATERIA Y LOS PROCESOS DE TRANSFERENCIA DE CARGA EN LA NANOESCALA, ABRIENDO EL CAMINO A CELDAS INORGANICAS O HIBRIDAS DE BAJO COSTE Y ALTA EFICIENCIA. PESE AL GRAN ESFUERZO DEDICADO, UN NUMERO LIMITADO DE NC COLOIDALES HA SIDO EMPLEADO HASTA AHORA: AQUELLOS QUE SE BASAN BIEN EN MATERIALES POCO ABUNDANTES, Y POR LO TANTO COSTOSOS, O EN MATERIALES TOXICOS. ELLO ES DEBIDO A SUS PROPIEDADES OPTOELECTRONICAS FAVORABLES PARA CELDAS SOLARES. INNANOMAT PROMETE EL USO DE UNA ESTRATEGIA JERARQUICA PARA ADAPTAR LAS PROPIEDADES OPTOELECTRONICAS DE NCS INORGANICOS, COMENZANDO DESDE EL CONTROL DE SU COMPOSICION Y PROPIEDADES A NIVEL ATOMICO, PARA SEGUIR CON OTRO GRADO DE CONTROL DE SUS PROPIEDADES EN LA ESCALA SUPRA-NANOCRISTALINA. ESTA METODOLOGIA SERA APLICADA A NANOMATERIALES BASADOS EN MATERIALES ABUNDANTES Y RESPETUOSOS CON EL MEDIO AMBIENTE, ADECUADOS PARA UN DESPLIEGUE FOTOVOLTAICO A GRAN ESCALA. INNANOMAT, A NIVEL ATOMICO, BUSCA DESARROLLAR NUEVOS TIPOS DE DOPADO PARA NCS COLOIDALES PARA CONTROLAR SU CARACTER ELECTRONICO, ASI COMO ESQUEMAS DE PASIVACION CAPACES DE REDUCIR LA DESFAVORABLE DENSIDAD TRAMPAS EN LOS NCS. A NIVEL SUPRA-NANOCRUSTALINO, INNANOMAT EXPLORARA NUEVAS NANO-HETEROUNIONES QUE PROVEAN DE UNA EFICIENTE SEPARACION DE CARGAS Y RECOMBINACION SUPRIMIDA, ELEMENTOS DE VITAL IMPORTANCIA EN CELDAS SOLARES DE ALTA EFICIENCIA. LAS PROPIEDADES MICROSCOPICAS DE LOS NCS SERAN CORRELACIONADAS CON LAS PROPIEDADES MACROSCOPICAS DE LOS NANOCOMPUESTOS EN DISPOSIVITOS, UNA METODOLOGIA QUE ARROJARA NUEVO CONOCIMIENTO EN LOS MECANISMOS QUE GOBIERNAN LAS PROPIEDADES DE ESTA CLASE DE CELDAS SOLARES. EL OBJETIVO FINAL ES LA INTRODUCCION DE UNA NUEVA PLATAFORMA PARA CELDAS SOLARES PROCESABLES EN SOLUCION, QUE REALMENTE EXPANDA LA DISPOSICION DE MATERIALES PARA LA INDUSTRIA FOTOVOLTAICA Y QUE ABORDE EL RETO DEL TW UTILZIANDO LA VERDADERA ENERGIA RENOVABLE DEL SOL (Spanish)

INORGANIC NANOCRYSTALS (NC) PROCESSABLE IN SOLUTION HAVE RECEIVED GREAT ATTENTION AS AN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY CAPABLE OF ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGE OF TW IN SOLAR CELLS. THESE NANOMATERIALS OFFER A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTROL LIGHT-MATTER INTERACTIONS AND LOAD TRANSFER PROCESSES ON THE NANOSCALE, OPENING THE WAY TO INORGANIC OR HYBRID CELLS WITH LOW COST AND HIGH EFFICIENCY. DESPITE THE GREAT EFFORT, A LIMITED NUMBER OF COLLOIDAL NCS HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED SO FAR: THOSE THAT RELY EITHER ON UNPLEASANT MATERIALS, AND THEREFORE EXPENSIVE, OR ON TOXIC MATERIALS. THIS IS DUE TO ITS FAVORABLE OPTOELECTRONIC PROPERTIES FOR SOLAR CELLS. INNANOMAT PROMISES THE USE OF A HIERARCHICAL STRATEGY TO ADAPT THE OPTOELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF INORGANIC NCS, STARTING FROM THE CONTROL OF THEIR COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES AT THE ATOMIC LEVEL, TO CONTINUE WITH ANOTHER DEGREE OF CONTROL OF THEIR PROPERTIES ON THE SUPRA-NANOCRYSTALLINE SCALE. THIS METHODOLOGY WILL BE APPLIED TO NANOMATERIALS BASED ON ABUNDANT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIALS, SUITABLE FOR LARGE-SCALE PHOTOVOLTAIC DEPLOYMENT. INNANOMAT, AT THE ATOMIC LEVEL, SEEKS TO DEVELOP NEW TYPES OF DOPING FOR COLLOIDAL NCS TO CONTROL THEIR ELECTRONIC CHARACTER, AS WELL AS PASSIVATION SCHEMES CAPABLE OF REDUCING THE UNFAVORABLE DENSITY TRAPS IN NCSS. AT THE SUPRA-NANOCRUSTALINO LEVEL, INNANOMAT WILL EXPLORE NEW NANO-HETEROUNIONS THAT PROVIDE EFFICIENT LOAD SEPARATION AND SUPPRESSED RECOMBINATION, ELEMENTS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE IN HIGH-EFFICIENCY SOLAR CELLS. THE MICROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF NCSS WILL BE CORRELATED WITH THE MACROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF THE NANOCOMPOSED IN DISPOSIVITES, A METHOD THAT WILL SHED NEW KNOWLEDGE IN THE MECHANISMS THAT GOVERN THE PROPERTIES OF THIS CLASS OF SOLAR CELLS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW PLATFORM FOR PROCESSABLE SOLAR CELLS IN SOLUTION, WHICH REALLY EXPANDS THE AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS FOR THE PHOTOVOLTAIC INDUSTRY AND ADDRESSES THE CHALLENGE OF TW BY USING THE TRUE RENEWABLE ENERGY OF THE SUN (English)
