Construction of organic thin-film solar cells with innovative solution-processible organic materials

Research Project Outline

We develop solution-processable small molecular materials, such as photochemically convertible precursors and supramolecular building blocks, to construct tailor-made p/n nanostructures for organic thin-film solar cells. We also establish novel device-manufacturing techniques which realize "the increase of the p/n interface for charge separation" and "the efficient carrier-collection to the electrodes" simultaneously. This leads to the creation of next-generation organic solar cells.
