Outline

Ferroelectric coordination polymers are new organic-inorganic hybrid-materials consisting of metal ions and organic bridging ligands. We found that the ferroelectric coordination polymers showed unique carrier transport properties, that is, the high charge carrier mobilities comparable to that of amorphous silicon and the generation of the long-lived carriers by the light irradiation. I will develop new hybrid-interfaces based on the ferroelectric coordination polymers, and apply them to highly-efficient photovoltaic devices in this project.
