Research Interests
Project entitled Mixed valence indium halides as potential PV materials. This project will focus on the experimental evaluation of mixed valence indium halides, with special emphasis on In(X,X’)2 where X,X’=Br,I, as a potential alternative for lead based perovskite materials used in photovoltaic (PV) applications. This investigation is lead by recent synthesis of indium chlorides and iodides within the research group, showing white and pale yellow colouration, indicating the possibility of tuning their band gap to a lower width by replacing the halide species within the structure. This is further supported by latest research articles reporting on PV effect in indium(I) iodide thin films and a prominent photoconductivity effect of InI in lateral two-terminal devices.

Research Interests
Project entitled New hydride-hydroxide materials for hydrogen release and storage. This project will investigate via STA-MS the dehydrogenation of LiBH4/LiOH and NaBH4/NaOH mixtures as potential materials for solid state hydrogen storage and release. Characterisation of the composites will be performed primarily by XRD and Raman spectroscopy to investigate both their performance and the mechanisms for hydrogen release.
