DESCRIPTION:Dr. Somin Park\, Northwestern University\, United States\nSurf
 ace chemistry plays a crucial role in solar technologies as it often dicta
 tes the optical and electronic properties of semiconductor materials and d
 evice interfaces. Here\, I will discuss my work on the discovery of non-in
 vasive ligands using surface-sensitive spectroscopy that stabilizes interf
 aces of perovskite solar cells at high operating temperatures. I will then
  describe the design of conformal self-assembled monolayers\, aided by sur
 face chemistry and molecular dynamics simulations\, leading to low-loss ho
 le-selective contacts for record solar cell performance. Finally\, I will 
 outline physical chemistry insights and pathways to overcome challenges in
  emerging photovoltaics and potential technological advances in optoelectr
 onics.
