« NEW INSIGHTS INTO PORPHYRIN AND EXPANDED PORPHYRINS AS LIGHT HARVESTERS FOR DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS (DSSC)« .

Date et lieu: mercredi 22 mars à 11h00 dans l’amphi L004

Résumé:

« Expanded porphyrins are macrocycles containing more than four pyrrole rings with an enhancement of the p-electron conjugation. Because of the larger number of pyrrole rings compared with porphyrins, they have attracted great interest in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC).

Photophysical, photovoltaics, and charge transport properties of porphyrin and expanded porphyrins are inspected using density functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT, and a combination of the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green′s function formalism with the DFT (DFT-NEGF). Several strategies in the molecular structure are assessed, and their effects on these properties are investigated.

L’EUR LUMOMAT lance sa première SUMMER SCHOOL « Sustainable strategies for Organic Electronics” qui aura lieu à Angers du 26 au 30 juin 2023.

« The field of organic electronics continues to advance at a rapid pace towards the next generation of electronics. This development requires new organic materials to act as semiconductors, in particular for the fabrication of organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) thermoelectric devices (TE) and organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs). Alongside the increase in performance, the area of sustainability is becoming crucial due to increasingly stringent health and safety regulatory measures. Efforts to integrate sustainable practices into organic electronics research and technology have started to become evident. For example, the efficient synthesis of materials that meet the criteria of green chemistry for clean and low-carbon synthesis should play a key role in this development. In addition, efforts must be made to incorporate materials from renewable resources into devices for a sustainable approach in terms of energy consumption and waste disposal, compared to conventional methods. The aim of this Summer School is therefore to stimulate discussion on the subject of sustainable organic electronics by bringing together internationally recognised experts in their field of expertise. »
