Redox active organic molecules with energy conversion and storage applications.The key aims of this research programme is to develop biologically inspired redox active materials with energy conversion (e.g. solar cells, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)) and storage applications (Li-ion batteries, redox flow batteries). We have selected hitherto non-studied biological cofactors as the main redox active moiety in these systems. We will augment their properties, through synthetic manipulation, to fine tune the electronic (e.g. optoelectronic and redox), metal coordination (e.g. Li- ion binding) and processability (e.g solubility) characteristics thereby creating novel building blocks with superior properties to currently available materials. The research programme will involve the student undertaking organic synthesis and structure elucidation, characterisation of properties of materials (e.g. solution electrochemistry, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy), DFT modelling and device fabrication and characterisation (e.g. solar cells, OLEDs and Li-ion batteries).

具有能量转换和存储应用的氧化还原活性有机分子。该研究计划的主要目标是开发具有能量转换（例如太阳能电池，有机发光二极管（OLED））和存储应用（锂离子电池，氧化还原液流电池）的生物启发氧化还原活性材料。我们已经选择了迄今未研究的生物辅因子作为这些系统中的主要氧化还原活性部分。我们将通过合成操作来增强它们的性质，以微调电子（例如光电和氧化还原）、金属配位（例如Li离子结合）和可加工性（例如溶解度）特征，从而产生具有比目前可用材料更优越的上级性质的新型结构单元。该研究计划将涉及学生进行有机合成和结构解析，材料特性的表征（例如溶液电化学，紫外可见和荧光光谱），DFT建模和设备制造和表征（例如太阳能电池，OLED和锂离子电池）。
