Overview
Personal Profile
Mellie Lemon’s research at NREL consists of studying the n-type semiconductor, zinc titanium nitride (ZnTiN2), which has been proposed as a potential photoabsorber in devices for carbon dioxide reduction. They/she grows ZnTiN2 films by reactive, radio frequency co-sputtering and studies their composition and structure by X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction, respectively. They/she also carries out optical and electronic measurements as well as photoelectrochemical experiments to determine their properties. Characterization of ZnTiN2 via multiple complementary techniques will lead to fundamental insight into the structure-property relationships of this material and insight into how to improve its efficiency for photoelectrochemical applications.
