Exploitation of Solar Energy

The group aims at developing new solutions to the exploitation of solar energy, which is by far the Earth's most abundant energy resource.

The group's activities focus on both the development of new light-harvesting photovoltaic devices and of new organic materials for efficient storage of energy. In addition, elucidation of fundamental aspects of light-harvesting and how to tune absorption maxima, interactions between chromophores, fluorescence properties, vibrational relaxation, and electron transfer processes as well as designing proof-of-concept systems are core areas of the group.

The group integrates theory, spectroscopy and organic synthesis and is headed by three researchers.
