Organic Thermoelectric
Thermoelectrics deals with the science and technology of conversion of heat into electricity and vice versa using solid state devices involving no moving parts. We are developing p- and n-type organic and hybrid organic/inorganic thermoelectric materials, with view to identifying structure-thermoelectric property relations. Our research targets thermoelectric material applications in flexible/stretchable thermoelectric generator.
Organic Transistor
Organic semiconductors with solution-processable counterparts as active device components will lower costs associated with thin film electronics fabrication. We are examining the processing-structure-property relationships of these materials to assess their viability. Current research efforts in this area focus on solution-processable p-type thioacene-based and n-type quinoidal-based organic semiconductors for the use as active layer in the organic transistor.
