Description

This project aims to demonstrate a photo electrochemical system using III-V multi-junction semiconductors through cost-effective epitaxial lift-off techniques that are surface modified for robust operation.How the project worksDirect solar-to-hydrogen conversion presents the most promising technique for achieving both high efficiency and lower costs by eliminating various efficiency loss mechanisms and reducing capital expenditure. ANU will work with MicroLink Devices Inc. and the University of Michigan combining their world leading expertise in epitaxial lift-off and semiconductor photocatalysis, respectively, with III-V semiconductor epitaxial growth expertise of ANU.
