Re-defining the radiative efficiency limits of organic solar cells
Internship Description
Workshop Description
Small molecule acceptors emerged as a new horizon in the field of
organic solar cells in the last couple of years. These novel materials possess
several advantages over the commonly used fullerene acceptors in terms of
absorption strength, band gap tunability and radiative emission. This project
aims to explore these novel acceptor materials in terms of their radiative
efficiency limits using optical and electrical measurements such as
photoluminescence, electroluminescence, PDS and FTPS.β
Deliverables/Expectations
Deliverables
- This project involves optical and electrical
measurements to investigate the radiative limit of high efficiency organic solar cells. Knowledge on organic solar cells is beneficial.
- βThe successful
candidate should have prior knowledge on organic solar cells, charge transport and
spectroscopy.β
