Research and Education on Lightweight and Flexible Photo-/Thermo-Electric Multi-Functional Materials
Abstract
The short term objectives of this proposed project is to investigate and develop certain molecular or organic/polymeric hybrid composite systems (via molecular structure and frontier orbital systematic optimization approaches) for high efficiency photoelectric, thermoelectric, or photo-/thermo-electric multi-functional conversion systems. The long-term objectives of the project include investigation and elucidation of the fundamental mechanisms of photo- and thermo- induced electron transfer processes in molecular or organic/polymeric hybrid materials systems, for instance, the correlations between the molecular frontier orbitals, molecular structures, solid state morphologies, to electron transfers and materials bulk photo- and thermo- electric conversions. Another key long term objective of the project is the education and training of future generation scientists or technical work force on the subject matter. Both short and long term objectives of the proposed research fall within DoD scientific missions, and the proposed research also matches specific research subjects and interests as solicited by DOD agencies listed in the project summary page.
