Although there has been a significant progress in the incorporation of conjugated small molecules/polymers in the variety of applications, there is still a long way to go before materials incorporating organic/polymeric molecules for large scale industrial production and commercialization. This is because; these molecules have the lower conductivities than conventional inorganic-based materials and have less stability too. Therefore, our group research interest is focused mainly on the design and synthesis of new conjugated small molecules/polymers having good solubility, high conductivity, and good thermal stability with or without the liquid crystalline property. Further, we study the synthesized molecules in the establishment of structure property relationship and structure-device performance.
Our group mainly works on the following areas,
1. Luminescent Liquid Crystals
2. Organic Hole Transporting Materials (Small/Polymeric Conjugated Molecules) for Perovskite Solar Cells
3. Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs)
4. Anti-counterfeiting Applications
5. Photo-supercapacitors
