Our research program is based in the field of materials chemistry and has a specific focus on the development of organic electronic devices. These novel devices exist at the interface of conventional electronics and materials chemistry and are the result of revolutionary advances in small molecule and plastic semiconductors. They can be used to manufacture exciting new consumer goods such as flexible, low-cost plastic solar cells and bendable flat panel displays. Specifically, the goal of our research program is to develop highly efficient and long-lived solar cells based on organic materials. The advantage of these organic solar cells is that they can be prepared and processed much more cheaply than conventional silicon-based photovoltaic devices. Their ease and economy of manufacture reduces the overall cost associated with complete photovoltaic modules, and it is hoped that this will lead to more wide-spread adoption of this emerging green technology.

我们的研究项目以材料化学领域为基础，特别关注有机电子器件的发展。这些新器件存在于传统电子学和材料化学的交界处，是小分子和塑料半导体革命性进步的结果。它们可以用来制造令人兴奋的新消费品，如柔性的、低成本的塑料太阳能电池和可弯曲的平板显示器。具体地说，我们研究计划的目标是开发基于有机材料的高效和长寿命太阳能电池。这些有机太阳能电池的优势在于，它们的制备和加工成本比传统的硅基光伏设备要便宜得多。它们的制造简单性和经济性降低了与完整光伏组件相关的总体成本，希望这将导致这种新兴的绿色技术得到更广泛的采用。
