Amman- February 2017
Dr. inshad Jumh from the School of Basic Sciences and Humanities won the first prize in the distinguished exhibition on the occasion of the International Day for Women and Girls in Science in the EU-funded program “Support to Research, Technological Development and Innovation in Jordan-Phase II (SRTD II)”.
She was awarded the first prize for her innovative project idea in developing and enhancing organic solar cells (OSC). Her state-of-the-art proposed idea in changing the band gap, allowing for electronic tenability to attain higher optical absorption coefficients, so a large amount of light can be absorbed with a small amount of material. her experiences and knowledge in the field of plasmonic metal-organic complexes lead her to propose a technique in pulsed and stimulated doping of metal nanoparticles which resulting a hybrid metal-organic complexes in a sandwiched OSC/OPV.
She anticipates significant outputs of the expected organic solar cells based on plasmonic metal-organic complexes for high efficiency energy conversion in making OSC/OPV technologies cost-competitive with conventional sources of energy. Moreover, increasing the stability of the solar cell by adding stronger bonds.
