Research in the Kelly group focuses on the development of emerging photovoltaic technologies. We study perovskite solar cells, organic photovoltaic devices and dye sensitized solar cells, and use a combination of organic and inorganic synthesis, nanotechnology and photophysics to more efficiently absorb light and convert it into electrical energy.

Current research projects focus on improving the efficiency and longevity of perovskite solar cells, the synthesis of new organic semiconductors, polymers and dyes, and the development of plasmon-enhanced solar cells through the use of anisotropic metal nanoparticles.
