Understanding the Optical and Photophysical Properties of Organic and Hybrid Macromolecules and Polymers for Solar Cell Application
(2021)
Organic solar cell materials represent a better sustainable alternative relative to inorganic materials in terms of lower cost, ease of large-scale processing, better absorptivity, ease of tunability, and unique flexibility ...
Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Computational Discovery of Solid Electrolytes for Batteries: Interfacial Phenomena and Ion Mobility
(2020)
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) using a solid electrolyte (SE) and Li-metal anode are promising technologies that can increase energy density and minimize safety concerns for applications such as electric vehicles. Although ...
Purely Organic Triplet Emitters: From Fundamental Molecular Design to Performance Amplification in Modern Applications
(2022)
Emissive materials are the essential functional components in many modern and emerging technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solid-state lighting, sensors, and data encryption. Metal-free purely organic ...
Computational Study of Emergent Behavior in Active Matter Systems with Particle Shape
(2020)
Murmurations of birds, schools of fish, and herds of migrating animals are macroscale examples of self-propelled units exhibiting emergent collective behavior. We call such systems ``active matter''. On the colloidal scale, ...
Design Principles for Nanocrystal Assembly Using Anisotropic Building Blocks
(2020)
Self-assembly of soft matter is a phenomena that can be influenced by multiple factors including particle shape, ligand decoration and thermodynamic properties such as temperature and pressure. In this highly anisotropic ...
