Scientific activity
The research focuses on conjugated organic molecules based on (hetero)aromatics and the study of their fundamental physicochemical properties. It designs organic molecules with further applications in material sciences, especially in organic electronics. Application areas of research on organic molecules include nonlinear optics, batteries, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, switches, sensors, etc. Another area of interest is photoredox catalysis using purely organic catalysts. Research in this area primarily focuses on transforming light radiation into chemical-bond energy. Finally, volatile hybrid inorganic-organic substances and their use for the deposition of layered materials are investigated.
