THIS IS A MURI CONTINUATION OF N00014-14-1-0580 CENTER FOR ADVANCED ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAICS.
Abstract
The goal of this proposal, which is in response to BAA 13-022 ONR MURI topic #18, is to provide a break-through in understanding of the light harvesting, charge generation, and charge recombination mechanisms in organic solar cells so that they can achieve their thermodynamic expectations. The program consolidates and makes tight connections between emergingtheoretical methodologies, state-of-the-art ultrafast spectroscopies, morphological characterizations across multiple length scales, molecular and polymer design, and device physics. The team brings together renowned experts from major organic electronics centers at GaTech, UCSB, Stanford and Cambridge. Whilethe team members have participated previously in extensive bilateral collaborations, they decided to establish this MURI to work collectively as a unit and to resolve the significant disagreements they held in the past on critical mechanistic aspects of how organic semiconductors absorb light and convert it into electrical power. By virtue of this unusual collaborative effort, this MURI will provide solutions.
