Organic Materials for Molecular Electronics
Research activities of our group are focused on exploring the manifold of molecular electronics ranging from organic photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes and field-effect transistors. Our interdisciplinary approach includes synthesizing multifunctional conjugated polymers and oligomers with novel properties and studying their characteristics working at the interface of chemistry, physics and materials engineering. We take advantage of molecular structures to fine tune the desire properties through molecular design and robust synthetic strategies.
The group at present is actively engaged in developing organic materials for-
- Organic Solar Cells
- Organic Field-Effect Transistors
- Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF)
- Singlet Fission
- Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices
