Bio-Inspired Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Electronic and Photonic Materials and Structures

Abstract

The goal of this research is to develop nano and meso-structured hybrid systems for the application in light harvesting, charge transfer and photocurrent generation with a high impact on the mission of the US Air Force. Our project is multifaceted and includes both bioinspiration and physical sciences approaches, all at the molecular and nanoscale levels. Our particular approach is creating nanohybrids of functional molecules coupled with nanostructured inorganics. One of the ways of achieving this complex but potentially highly functional system is combining biomacromolecular entities with functional inorganics and synthetic molecules.
