Efficient light absorption and charge separation in molecular systems are crucial events in organic photovoltaic devices and photo-induced reactions, often performed by associations of electron Donor (D) and Acceptor (A) molecular units. We aim to build an interdisciplinary research team focused on the development and understanding of charge separating molecular systems using experimental…
The design and preparation of low bandgap molecular systems is a crucial step towards the implementation of organic electronic and photovoltaic applications. In particular, pi-conjugated systems exhibit bandgap lowering as building blocks with different electron affinities are associated. In this scientific initiation plan the candidate will synthesize phenothiazine oligomers by interfaci…
We propose new donor-acceptor units as light harvesting heterojunctions systems and their host-guest systems, aiming higher performance and device lifetime. Thus, phenothiazine oligomers will be used as donor (D) units and S,N-heteroacene oligomers as acceptor (A) units. Host-guest systems will be prepared in silica, sodium-aluminum silicate, phenyl-silicate, and Naphthalenediimide-silica…
The mechanisms that lead to efficient charge separation in donor-acceptor molecular systems are not fully established yet. They might be related to electronic states that are above the charge transfer state or boosted by local dielectric screening. Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) is an excellent tool to investigate these systems, especially when large multimolecular syste…
Phenothiazine derivatives present low oxidation potentials and oxidized species with high stability, entitling them as good $\pi$-electron donors. Naphtalenediimide (NDI) is an efficient electron acceptor due to its high electron affinity while ambient air-stable. NDI can be easily synthesized with siloxy groups permitting the fabrication of silicate films and mesoporous materials using s…
