From Molecules to Energy Devices: New Structure-Informed Pathways in Developing Perovskites, Organic Polymers, and Hybrids

We are pleased to welcome at ISCR (Inorganic Theoretical Chemistry team), G N Manjunatha Reddy, Associate professor at the University of Lille.

Abstract
The development of next-generation energy technologies relies on efficient, durable materials whose properties can be precisely tuned from the molecular to the device scales. For example, organic semiconductors and hybrid perovskites have received much attention for developing solution processed and printable optoelectronic devices for wider energy paradigm. Hybrid systems further expand these design principles, combining the strengths of both inorganic and organic components, and application space, for example, interface-engineered multilayer devices such as tandem solar cells. In this talk we highlight how structure-informed approaches are shaping the design of perovskites, organic polymers, and hybrid materials for solar energy conversion, sensors and related imaging applications. By integrating insights from magnetic resonance spectroscopy, crystallography, and microscopy, insights into how subtle variations in molecular packing, bonding interactions, and interfacial organization directly impact charge transport, stability, and efficiency, can be obtained and compared. ...
