Nanostructured semiconducting polymers
- Groupleader: Prof. Dr. Brigitte Voit
We are developing new methods for controlled preparation of π-conjugated (semiconducting) polymers of various architectures for needs of organic electronics (e.g., solar cells, field transistors, light-emitting diodes, energy storage devices, sensors, etc.).
