🌟 Congratulations to Dr Minh Tam Hoang for receiving a prestigious Industrial ARC Early Career Fellowship (DECRA) worth $500,020!

Dr Hoang’s project will tackle the critical issues of toxicity, environmental impact, and instability in metal halide perovskite materials — key barriers to their use in commercial solar cells.

In collaboration with Halocell Australia, Dr Hoang aims to develop:
Green-solvent solution processes
Tin-based (lead-free) perovskite solar cells
✅ Scalable fabrication methods for safer, more sustainable photovoltaic technologies

“Australia needs better fabrication processes for next-generation PSCs so we can increase market adoption of commercially viable technology with minimal risk in production,” said Dr Hoang.

This innovative work will contribute to building a cleaner, more sustainable solar future, and position Australia at the forefront of next-generation photovoltaics. 🌞
