At this institution I examined the molecular packing of organic semiconductors for application in solar cells. Synchrotron radiation was used to study the morphology and crystal structure. I have developed a new method to quantify the degree of molecular mixing between two materials that are blended in a bulk heterojunction. An X-ray characterization tool.

At this institution, I used the spectroscopic time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) technique as a tool to judge the potential performance of new photovoltaic materials, without the costly need for device fabrication. This tool also helps to understand the recombination processes in organic solar cells by observing the carrier decay as measured by.

The central theme of the study was to investigate and alter the morphology in hybrid polymer solar cells, using ZnO as inorganic electron acceptor. The efficiency of these solar cells depends critically on the degree of mixing of the ZnO and the polymer component. A ZnO:polymer bulk heterojunction was created by reactive spin coating of a ZnO precursor.

“TiO2/Au nanocomposites by a surface chemical approach”The focus of the research was to investigate possible penetration of Au nanoparticles into a porous TiO2 structure.
