Charge and Energy Transfer Processes at Inorganic-Organic Interfaces

功能分子材料与无机体系的集成仍然是实现耐用、高效光电子器件的突出障碍。该项目旨在开发和了解这类新设备，重点是跨混合接口的定向能量传输过程。该项目希望通过研究两个模型系统中的三重态转移，在光伏(PV)和有机发光二极管(OLED)方面产生新的知识。第一个将是向开发先进的光伏设备迈出的一步，该设备使用下转换来推动太阳能电池超过效率障碍。第二个将展示用于下一代OLED的无机-有机固态上转换，具有更好的稳定性。

The integration of functional molecular materials with inorganic systems remains an outstanding hurdle to achieve durable, highly efficient optoelectronic devices. This project aims to develop and understand this new class of devices, with a focus on directional energy transfer processes across hybrid interfaces. This project expects to generate new knowledge in photovoltaics (PV) and for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) by studying triplet transfer in two model systems. The first will be a step towards the development of advanced PV devices using down-conversion to push solar cells beyond the efficiency barrier. The second will demonstrate inorganic-organic solid state up-conversion for next generation OLEDs with improved stability.
