Research Activities & About the Group
The Nanostructured Materials and Devices section specializes in the synthesis, characterizations and modeling of nanostructured materials and their application to range of applications including plastic electronic devices, solar energy conversion, photonics, structural materials and energy storage technologies. Our research focuses control of material’s structure on the nanometer length scale, including organic semiconductors, inorganic nanoparticles and quantum dots, carbon and inorganic nanotubes.
The Group is also closely engaged in post-graduate training including the Doctoral Training Centre for Chemistry and Material Science and Masters of Degree in Chemistry.
Current research activities include:
Energy Conversion technologies, including low cost photovoltaic (Organic, and hybrid solar cells) and electrical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors)
The synthesis of semiconducting polymers and polymer nanostructures and their application to organic transistors, solar cells, light emitting diodes and other photonic applications
Synthesis, characterizations and applications of carbon and inorganic nanotubes, Modeling of the electronic properties of nanostructured semiconductors.
Given below are just some of the flagship research projects of the Centre.
