Building functional nanostructures for clean energy technology through organic chemistry.

At Laboratory of Organic Electronics, LOE, we explore electronic and optical properties of organic materials and organic-inorganic hybrid systems.

We exploit and investigate the physics and chemistry of novel organic and composite materials to design and fabricate the next generation of energy devices.

FunMat-II is a second generation competence center in material science, focusing its efforts to the areas of functional surfaces for cutting tools, fuel cells and batteries.

In a study published in Nature, researchers at LiU have developed a method to recycle all parts of a perovskite solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one.

A research program to enable sustainable technologies with impact on our society by understanding, creating, and controlling complex materials with a precision down to the single atom level.

Five researchers at LiU have each been awarded SEK 1 million per year for four years in research grants from a joint initiative by the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Research Council in energy-oriented basic research.

LiU researcher Feng Gao has been awarded one of this year鈥檚 ERC Starting Grants by the European Research Council in stiff competition with other applicants. He will use the money in his work to develop new materials for light-emitting diodes.

Progress in research into organic solar cells has been rapid in recent years. These cells are environmentally sensitive, can be printed onto large surfaces, and open completely new possibilities for husbanding the energy of the sun.

Polymer solar cells could be even cheaper and more reliable thanks to a breakthrough by researchers at 福利姬 and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This work is about avoiding costly and unstable fullerenes.
