Guided biomimetic self-assembly of nanocrystal photovoltaic cells

Portable thin film deposition systems

There is growing interest in organic electronics research from a broad range of disciplines. The objective for many researchers is the development of novel, efficient materials and device structures. However, the sophistication and cost of equipment needed to create robust organic electronic devices makes it

Fiber-Based Organic Solar Cells
Sponsor: Intel Summer Fellowship

Although efficient photovoltaic cells can be made from silicon and other inorganic materials, they are too expensive for widespread generation of solar electricity. We are working on fiber-based solar cells and other devices, to be incorporated in textiles. Organic materials are ideal candidates for this

Ordered Multi-Phase systems

Solar cell devices made from electronic devices today are very inefficient relative to their inorganic counterparts. One way of potentially improving the overall efficiency of a device is by improving the conversion efficiency. Efficient inter-conversion of energy typically requires highly ordered materials, with a controlled

Three level systems for energy conversion

We are investigating organic and inorganic materials that have more than one excited energy state, and can undergo two-photon up-conversion processes. These can be used in high-efficiency 3rd generation photovoltaic devices, where both high- and low-energy solar photons contribute to the photocurrent.

Nanoscale scanning energy probe microscopy
Sponsor: Office of Naval Research (ONR)

We are developing nanoprobes for ascertaining the energy landscape of surfaces with nanoscale resolution. The applications can range from imaging cell structure in biological systems to increasing the efficiency of solar cells and thermoelectric devices.
