Organic Electronics
As a part of the broader University initiative for sustainable energy research (Center for Solar and Thermal Energy Conversion), we are investigating conjugated polymers for applications in organic photovoltaics. With the potential for low-cost solution processing, polymer-based solar cells have been gaining attention as cheap, flexible alternatives to traditional silicon solar cells for clean and renewable energy production. Of particular interest to us is developing processing methods to tailor the morphology of polymer blend systems, and applying these techniques to optimize solar cell device performance.
