Organic solar cells have great potential in renewable energy, however their long-term stability and operational lifespan are challenges.
Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) are at the forefront of next-generation renewable energy technologies, due to their lightweight, flexibility, transparency, and potential for low-cost production.
The project is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
Main objectives:
To understand the role of the molecular interactions in polymer-polymer de-mixing during thin film formation, by monitoring it in-situ, imaging it at scales from nano- to micrometers, and modelling its dynamics.
To understand how molecular interactions can be manipulated by external stimuli with the goal to manipulate morphology.
To rationalize and optimize morphologies for optical a
