Controlling organic semiconductor film morphology at a molecular level is key to advancing the performance of optoelectronic devices such as large area organic light-emitting diode lighting, solar cells and sensors. The project aims to move from an empirical design cycle of material synthesis, device fabrication and testing to a more predictive approach where morphologies from molecular simulations are used to rationalise differences in experimentally measured optoelectronic properties. Outcomes will include unique insight into atomic-level structural details that determine device efficiency and an understanding of whether atomic simulations can be applied to accelerate improvements in device performance and translation to industry.
