Design and characterising new organic electronic materials forms a major part of our activity. We actively collaborate with leading chemists in this field and provide feedback in the quest for developing high mobility polymers and small molecules, acceptor molecules for bulk heterojunction based solar cells, high and low-k dielectrics. We spent considerable effort in optimizing processing conditions for a desired property. Processing tools include spin-coating and printing methods, annealing under electric field conditions, soft-lithography approaches, vapor deposition
Devices
Range of photovoltaics structures and architecture have been studied in our laboratory. We specifically are interested in developing large-area devices with low manufacturing complexity.
The laboratory has pioneered in developing polymer based optical-field effect transistors, Interfacing Organic/polymer Semiconductors with Biological Media at molecular-cellular-system level, large-area position sensors, stretchable-flexible light emitting diodes, resonant cavity NIR high speed detectors, large organic solar cell designs.
