Design and synthesis of novel conjugated oligomers and polymers; organic electronics; supramolecular materials; new materials for sustainable energy and structure-property relationships

Our research focuses on the design and synthesis of novel electrically conducting polymers for supramolecular materials, structure-property relationships and sustainable energy. The conducting plastics will be utilized as the active components in lightweight, inexpensive and flexible polymers solar cells, rechargeable batteries and thermoelectrics. These plastic solar cells (convert light energy into electricity) and organic thermoelectrics (convert heat energy into electricity) are both mechanisms for creating electricity from renewable and/or recyclable energy sources. The plastic rechargeable batteries will be implemented to store the energy created by the above avenues.
