Electronic properties of interfaces with conjugated polymers

The project focuses on polymer interfaces that are of direct relevance for organic photovoltaic cells (OPVCs), their function and efficiency. Our goal to provide a complete understanding of the energy levels at all interfaces that occur in polymer/polymer heterojunction photovoltaic cells (i.e. donor polymer/anode, donor/acceptor and acceptor polymer/cathode interfaces) and how these energy levels influence the OPVC energy conversion efficiency.
