Solvent-Free Brush Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries
We present a comparative study of linear and brush polymers based on PEG towards application in L-batteries as solid polymer electrolytes. See ACS Applied Energy Materials, 2019 ASAP for details
Cu(TFSI)2-Doped Hole Conductors for Efficient CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells
One of the challenges in n-i-p perovskite solar cells is to create stable doped (n and p) extraction layers. In this paper (ACS Applied Energy Materials 2019, ASAP) we demonstrate the use of
Cu(TFSI)2 as dopant for spiro-OMeTAD without the need of additives such Li-TFSI or tBP and air-doping
Block Copolymer Micelles for Polymer Semiconductor Nanocomposites
Compartmentalized synthesis of P3HT-TiO2 nanocomposites with well-defined morphology via a micellar route was realized using the concept Self-organized Hybrids. See ACS Appl. Nano Mater. 2019, 2, 2133−2143
Ultrathin Polymeric SAMFETs with High Field-Effect Mobility
We successfully grafted a monolayer of P3HT in an end-on fashion using click chemistry and realized highly efficient SAMFETs using polymeric semiconductor for the first time. For details, see ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018
The role of PbI2 in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite fully revealed
With two publications, (PCCP, 2018 and JMC,C 2018) we studied in details the consequences of having traces of PbI2 in MAPI towards efficiency, stability and phase transition temperatures
