DURIP-22 CHARGE CARRIER TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF SOLUTION-PROCESSED ELECTRONIC MATERIALS
Abstract
Charge carrier transport and charge carrier recombination govern the operation of all electronic devices. Thus, understanding charge carrier transport and charge carrier recombination in solution-processible electronic materials is a prerequisite for successfully designing high performance electronics including solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, transistors, and spintronics. In the past years, we have reported high-performance solution-processed photovoltaics (solar cells and photodetectors), thermoelectric devices, supercapacitors, and self-charging packs by novel organic semiconductors and organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites. We have been further using both optical spectroscopy and electronic measurement to study the charge carrier transport properties of novel organic semiconductors and organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites. To further investigate the charge carrier transport properties of these novel electronic materials and then correlate the device performance of electronics, this DURIP proposal is for the acquisition of the set-up for Hall-Effect measurement. This acquisition is aimed to support the PI’s research in the development of solution-processed broadband photodetectors funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) (14RT1277). We propose to use this set-up for investigating charge carrier transport properties in novel three-dimensional and two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, semiconducting polymers and organic small molecules, and organic and lead-free perovskite thermoelectric materials. This advanced instrument will undoubtedly broaden and accelerate the investigation on charge carrier transport of current and emerging electronic materials. In addition, this set-up will also offer an excellent platform for other research groups to promote their research projects.
