| Description | The behaviour of pervoskite solar cells has been explored using mathematical models. These models have helped to guide the development and improvement of these devices. The behaviour of Li-ion batteries has been explored using mathematical modelling. These simplified models give insight into the mechanisms dominating the observed behaviour. |
| Exploitation Route | The solar cell group at Oxford, headed by Henry Snaith, has used the ideas developed in this project to help guide some of their experimental programme on perovskite solar cells. |
