My research is mainly in the field of (perovskite) solar cells. I focus on the synthesis of low-cost organic hole transporting materials, the environmental impact, and the influence of moisture on the perovskite stability. Furthermore I study charge transporting properties in small-molecules, polymers and covalent organic frameworks.
In perovskite solar cells, expensive organic materials (such as Spiro-OMeTAD) are used to selectively extract the postive charges from the perovskite and transport these to the electrode. In our group, we developed low-cost hole transporting materials by using simple condensation chemistry in which water is the only side-product. In perovskite solar cells, our hole transporting materials show comparable performance to state-of-the-art material, however the estimated cost contribution is two orders of magnitude lower. In addition, as a result of the simple chemistry, also the environmental impact is reduced. The results have been published: J. Mater. Chem. A, 2015 and J. Mater. Chem. A, 2017. By using different linkage units in those small molecules, we moreover can easily tune the chemical and optoelectronic properties of these HTM as we have shown in our recent publication: Mol. Syst. Des. Eng., 2018.
The simplicity of Schiff base condensation chemistry is demonstrated in this video.
