On the afternoon of December 15, 2025, Associate Professor Yao Disheng from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Technology, was invited to YIST for academic exchanges. The academic exchange meeting was held in the meeting room on the third floor of YIST and presided over by Professor Shen Hui, Director of YIST.
This academic exchange meeting focused on perovskite technology. At the meeting, Associate Professor Yao Disheng delivered a special presentation titled Synergistic Regulation of Phase-Optics-Electricity, Tandem Technology Research and Novel Device Construction Based on Perovskite Solar Cells, which centered on the interface regulation, tandem design and stability challenges of perovskite solar cells, covering multiple dimensions such as material synthesis, device physics and engineering applications.
Also invited to the academic exchange meeting were Professor Yang Xinbo, a photovoltaic expert from Soochow University, the head of the perovskite technology team at Trina Solar, and the head of R&D at Liyuan New Energy, among others. During the discussion session, the participants conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions on a series of topics of common concern, including the stability and commercial prospects of perovskite solar cells, joint research on perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell technology, joint postgraduate training, as well as the regular organization of exchange visits.
After the meeting, the participants visited the R&D laboratories and the Science and Technology Exhibition Hall of the Photovoltaic Center. In the exhibition hall, Director Shen Hui gave a vivid explanation of the complete chain of photovoltaic technology from research to application, as well as the historical development context of photovoltaic culture, with the help of physical models, graphic materials and dynamic data screens, leaving a deep impression on the visitors. This academic exchange featured a lively atmosphere, and the two sides reached important consensus on perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell technology, joint talent training and other aspects.
Dr. Yao Disheng obtained his doctoral degree from Queensland University of Technology and was awarded the High Achiever Award. His supervisor is Prof. Hongxia Wang, a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering. Currently, he serves as an Associate Professor and Master’s Supervisor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Technology.
He teaches core undergraduate and postgraduate courses including Thin Film Materials and Physics, Semiconductor Materials and Technology, and Solar Cell Materials. He was named one of the "Top 10 Young Excellent Teachers" in the 18th Selection of Guilin University of Technology, and presides over one undergraduate program classification construction project. He has also won the university-level honors of "Excellent Class Teacher" and "Advanced Individual of Faculty Mentors for Students’ Extracurricular Science and Technology Innovation" multiple times. Under his guidance, undergraduate students have won 2 regional silver awards and 1 regional bronze award in the China International College Students’ Innovation Competition; many students have also received the Excellent Undergraduate Graduation Thesis Award and Excellent Master’s Degree Thesis Award.
Dr. Yao’s research focuses on advanced photovoltaic semiconductor materials, photo-storage devices, and special metal processing technologies. He presides over 2 provincial and ministerial-level scientific research projects and 1 municipal-level project, and participates in several key projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and provincial key laboratory projects. He has published more than 50 academic papers in top-tier SCI journals such as Nano Energy, ACS Energy Letters, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and Small, with over 1,200 citations in total.
