Topic: Emerging Design Guidelines for Novel Organic Semiconductors

 

Speaker: Guillermo C. Bazan, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA

 

Time: 9:30 a.m., March 12, 2015

 

Venue: Conference Hall N308A, Building of State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, SCUT North Campus

 

Sponsor: School of Materials Science and Engineering

 

Abstract:

This presentation will cover some new ideas that are emerging in our laboratories for designing organic semiconductors with unique properties. The seminar will be tailored to facilitate discussion and open possible collaborations with SCUT colleagues. The topics to discuss include the following:

 

i) Regioregular conjugated polymers with exceptional charge carrier mobilities (> 25 cm2/V.s).

 

ii) High open circuit voltage bulk heterojunction solar cells through control of conjugated polymer structure.

 

iii) Self-doped conjugated polyelectrolytes for thermoelectric applications.

 

iv) Highly ordered molecular semiconductors achieved via solution deposition: structural details, mechanism of formation and relevance to photovoltaic efficiencies.
