Abstract

The research on carbon neutral renewable energy sources based upon the combination of solution processing methods, nanostructured semiconductor inorganic materials and optoelectronic device physics is a powerful interdisciplinary platform for scientific research in the 21st Century. Since the group formation in 2006, our particular interest has been the development of earth abundant and molecular based solar cells and the detailed study of the interfacial charge transfer reactions that limit the efficiency on these novel generation of solar cells.

On the other hand, we also are devoted to the development and study of novel materials for biomedical applications that advance on the application of nano-science to medicine.

Topics addressed

  • Synthesis and characterization of organic semiconductor molecules
  • Dye-sensitized solar cells
  • Perovskite solar cells
