Our research involves molecule-based materials and nanomaterials with conducting, optical and electrochemical properties, used for functional electronic materials and devices.This includes preparation of materials with properties such as reversible redox processes, intense low-energy light absorption and the capability for strong intermolecular interactions. Such materials have the potential to be readily processed from solution and we use them in applications such as solar cells, photocatalysts, transistors and supercapacitors. We characterise these by measuring properties such as conductivity, charge mobility, charge-storage capacity and solar cell performance.
