Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE), Faculty of Engineering (FE), AIUB in collaboration with the Engineering Students Association of Bangladesh (ESAB) AIUB Unit Face organized an insightful seminar titled “Progress and Stability Enhancement of Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells: Opportunities and Challenges”. This seminar, held at the Multipurpose Hall of D – Building, brought together over 150 attendees to learn about the latest advancements and remaining obstacles in developing more efficient and durable perovskite solar cells.
The program started with opening remarks by Dr. Mohammad Mahbub Rabbani, (Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, Deputy Director, Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation, AIUB) where he provided an overview of the rapid advancements and remaining challenges in developing stable, efficient hybrid perovskite solar cells. After that, Dr. Md. Mahbubur Rahman, (Associate Professor, Department of Applied Chemistry, Konkuk University, South Korea) was invited on stage to share his extraordinary work. He began with an introduction to solar energy and solar cells, providing background information on photovoltaics and the need for continued advancement of solar technologies. This main section of the talk focused on perovskite solar cells. Next, he discussed the principles behind how perovskite PV devices work and their advantages over other solar cell materials. While concluding his speech, he summarized the tremendous promise of perovskite solar cells as an emerging PV technology. Following an engaging Q/A session, the faculty members and the participants got the opportunity to interact with the speakers and gained further clarification on the topics discussed.
The seminar was successfully concluded by Prof. Dr. Abdul Mannan (Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB). Prof. Dr. Abdul Mannan (Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) and Prof. Dr. S Mosaddeq Ahmed (Head, Department of Chemistry, AIUB) handed over the crests and expressed appreciation toward distinguished speaker for sharing his expertise.
