About
Dr. Peng Chen is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Chemical Engineering and a Group Leader at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), The University of Queensland. In 2020, he got his PhD degree from School of Chemical Engineering at UQ, before moving to AIBN for two consecutive fellowships: Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) Research Fellow (2020-2022) and ARC DECRA Fellow (2023-2025).
Dr. Chen's research focuses on the development of low-cost and efficient thin-film photovoltaic technologies for renewable energy conversion and storage, including perovskite solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and solar hydrogen production. In 2018, he pioneered the development of bilayer 2D/3D heterostructures for stable perovskite solar cells (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2018, 28, 1706923; citation: 900+ times). In 2021, he participated in the design of ultrastable perovskite-MOF glassy composites for lighting applications (Science 2021, 374, 621). In 2025, he led the team to achieve a certified world-record efficiency of 16.65% for lead-free perovskite solar cells (Nature Nanotechnology 2025, 20, 779).
