Soft-templated 3D nanostructured semiconductors

该提案旨在利用溶致液晶相作为电化学制造各种3D纳米结构半导体的模板，这些半导体与太阳能电池、led、光电子器件和热电器件的应用相关。特别是该项目将探索如何使用溶致软模板的组成、条件和加工来控制其结构，以及这些结构特性如何反过来影响由它们模板的半导体材料的特性。

This proposal seeks to exploit lyotropic liquid crystalline phases as templates for the electrochemical fabrication of a wide range of 3D nanostructured semiconductors that are of relevance for applications in solar cells, LEDs, optoelectronic devices and thermoelectric devices. In particular the project will explore how the composition, conditions and processing of the lyotropic soft templates can be used to control their structure, and how these structural properties in turn affect the properties of semiconductor materials templated from them.
