Basic Research into Charge Injection at the Organic Cathode Interface

Objective
The purpose of this project is the investigation and understanding of the dynamics and mechanisms of charge transfers at interfaces in organic electronic devices. Organic light emitting diodes, organic photovoltaic cells and organic electronic devices such as FET’s and memory are examples of these devices and continue to require fundamental understanding to realize their full potential. In all of these applications, progress is hindered by a lack of fundamental understanding of the interfacial charge transport processes. It is the goal of this research effort to develop robust and efficient, long-lived devices that will play a major role in meeting the Nation’s energy efficiency goals for the future.
