In-depth analysis of chloride treatments for thin-film CdTe solar cells (2016)
Journal Article
Major, J., Al Turkestani, M., Bowen, L., Brossard, M., Li, C., Lagoudakis, P., Pennycook, S., Phillips, L., Treharne, R., & Durose, K. (2016). In-depth analysis of chloride treatments for thin-film CdTe solar cells. Nature Communications, 7, Article 13231. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms13231

CdTe thin-film solar cells are now the main industrially established alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics. These cells remain reliant on the so-called chloride activation step in order to achieve high conversion efficiencies. Here, by compariso...

Development of ZnO nanowire based CdTe thin film solar cells (2016)
Journal Article
Major, J. D., Tena-Zaera, R., Azaceta, E., Bowen, L., & Durose, K. (2017). Development of ZnO nanowire based CdTe thin film solar cells. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 160, 107-115. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2016.10.024

This work reports on the development of CdTe thin film solar cells grown on ZnO nanowire arrays. The focus was placed on utilising ZnO nanowire arrays as a replacement to the conventional ZnO thin film buffer layer, thereby requiring minimal alterati...

Evolution of Electronic Circuits using Carbon Nanotube Composites (2016)
Journal Article
Massey, M., Kotsialos, A., Volpati, D., Vissol-Gaudin, E., Pearson, C., Bowen, L., …Petty, M. (2016). Evolution of Electronic Circuits using Carbon Nanotube Composites. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 32197. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32197

Evolution-in-materio concerns the computer controlled manipulation of material systems using external stimuli to train or evolve the material to perform a useful function. In this paper we demonstrate the evolution of a disordered composite material,... Read More about Evolution of Electronic Circuits using Carbon Nanotube Composites.

Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea (2016)
Journal Article
Stricker, S., Jones, S., Sathar, S., Bowen, L., & Oxtoby, N. (2016). Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 77, 198-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2016.02.003

As the exploration of hydrocarbons moves into more complex and deeper basinal settings the need to understand the effect of high temperatures and high pressures on reservoir quality and rock properties becomes even more important. The fluvial channel... Read More about Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea.
