Overview

Stuart Wenham was affiliated with the University of New South Wales in Australia. Their research primarily focused on engineering, with a particular emphasis on electrical and electronic engineering. Their work spanned several related subfields, including atomic and molecular physics, optics, renewable energy, sustainability, and environmental engineering.

The scientist's research topics encompassed:

  • Silicon and Solar Cell Technologies
  • Thin-Film Transistor Technologies
  • Semiconductor materials and interfaces
  • Photovoltaic System Optimization Techniques
  • Photovoltaic Systems and Sustainability
  • Solar cell performance optimization

Stuart Wenham co-authored multiple papers with various frequent collaborators. Notable coauthors included Alison Ciesla, Brett Hallam, Ran Chen, Daniel Chen, and Phillip Hamer. These collaborations contributed to the development and analysis of silicon solar cell technology and related processes.

Three recent publications illustrate the focus and progression of their work:

  • "Development of advanced hydrogenation processes for silicon solar cells via an improved understanding of the behaviour of hydrogen in silicon", published in 2020 in Progress in Photovoltaics Research and Applications
  • "23.83% efficient mono-PERC incorporating advanced hydrogenation", published in 2020 in Progress in Photovoltaics Research and Applications
  • "24.58% efficient commercial n-type silicon solar cells with hydrogenation", published in 2021 in Progress in Photovoltaics Research and Applications

The frequent venue for publication was Progress in Photovoltaics Research and Applications, featuring all three listed papers. This indicates a consistent research output within a specialized journal dedicated to photovoltaic science and technology.
