Prof. Roberto Mendonça Faria has been a Full Professor at the University of São Paulo since 1999. He was director of the Institute of Physics of São Carlos at USP between 2002 and 2006, and coordinator of the Institute for Advanced Studies at USP, Polo de São Carlos (2010-2014). Today is Visiting Professor at UTFPR. He coordinated the Millennium Institute of Polymeric Materials (IMMP), from 2002 to 2006, and now is the coordinator of the National Institute of Science and Technology for Organic Electronics (INEO), which is composed by more than 40 research groups in Brazil. He coordinated the production of the book Science, Technology and Innovation for a Competitive Brazil, financed by CAPES, which gave rise to Emprapii (Brazilian Company for Industrial Research and Innovation). He was president of the Brazilian Materials Research Society (SBPMat), from 2012 to 2016. He was Chair of the international event "Spring Meeting of the European Material Research Society 2014", in Lille, France. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) and of the Academy of Sciences of the State of São Paulo (ACIESP). He has supervised more than 35 PhD theses and 20 master's dissertations, and has supervised more than 20 postdocs. He has published around 200 scientific papers in indexed journals. He is a researcher at CNPq with a 1A productivity grant. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The proposal of the National Institute for Science and Technology on Organic Electronics (INEO) is to compose a network that brings together researchers with the aim of developing science and technology on Organic Electronics and related systems, It comprises more than 40 research groups in different areas of physics, chemistry and engineering, resulting in a network able to tackle the mu…
The specific objective of the visit of prof. von Seggern is to continue a collaboration started more than two years ago on organic solar cells, in which we have already two publications in collaboration with him, which involved two PhD theses. We are currently conducting studies about transport dynamics in ITO/PEDOT: PSS/PTB7-Th: PC71BM/Ca-Al structures, using the following techniques: cu…
Research on organic solar cells is now one of the main segments of the area of Organic Electronics, being the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photovoltaic structure a promising device for converting solar energy into electric energy. This combination, donor-acceptor, forms a very interesting system from the electronic point of view. However, to increase the efficiency of these devices, it is n…
In the proposed collaborative project the groups at Imperial College London and University of Sao Paolo (USP) aim to join forces to address some of the most critical issues in the development of organic electronics from science towards applications. We choose to focus on fundamental issues, relating to the nature of organic - metal interfaces and to the relationship between chemical struc…

This project aims to manufacture third generation photovoltaic cells with the active layer made of electronic polymers thin films combined with electronegative inorganic materials. To accomplish that, we will use structures containing a transparent electrode (ITO, for example), a holes carrier layer (PEDOT:PSS), and as an active layer, electronic polymers (as polythiophene or polyphenyle…
The Group of Polymer Bernhard Gross has a long experience in the study of electrical and optical properties of polymers and in the fabrication of organic optoelectronic devices. Recently, a PhD thesis (Adriana Pereira Ibaldo - February 2010) was related to the study of materials applied to photovoltaic devices, and a Master thesis (Douglas José Coutinho - to finish in August 2011) is buit…

One of the most successful active materials for organic solar cells is the regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophene) (rr-P3HT), which has also been used as active layer in thin film electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, despite the scientific and technological progress within the last two decades, polythiophene devices still have to overcome some obstacles in order to reach the market…
