Research field
My research is mainly in the field of (perovskite) solar cells. I focus on the synthesis of low-cost organic hole transporting materials, the environmental impact, and the influence of moisture on the perovskite stability. Furthermore I study charge transporting properties in small-molecules, polymers and covalent organic frameworks.
In perovskite solar cells, expensive organic materials (such as Spiro-OMeTAD) are used to selectively extract the postive charges from the perovskite and transport these to the electrode. In our group we developed low-cost hole transporting materials by using simple condensation chemistry in which water is the only side-product. In perovskite solar cells our hole transporter materials show comparable performance to state-of-the-art material, however the estimated cost contribution is two orders of magnitude lower. In addition, as a result of the simple chemistry, also the environmental impact is reduced. The results have been published: J. Mater. Chem. A, 2015and J. Mater. Chem. A, 2017
The simplicity of Schiff base condensation chemistry is demonstrated in this video.
