“Establishing the function of organic semiconductors as promising materials for solar-to-fuel energy conversion.”
Direct conversion of solar energy into solar fuels as a form of chemical energy at molecular level (e.g., solar H2 production) by photoelectrodes is a promising approach to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and enable long-term energy storage. However, the identification of optimal semiconductors for large-scale photoelectrodes still remains a challenge. The vision of ONEL is to open a new era of solar fuel production using organic semiconductors which are highly promising due to their chemical tunability, solution-processability, and efficient light-harvesting ability.
