The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $365,077 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
The grant will fund research from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 to study using spacer molecular structure to control energetics, stability, charge-carrier transport, and photovoltaic performance in 2D organic metal halide perovskites. The research aims to advance understanding of major problems in materials science and energy technologies by investigating molecular design approaches to tune the properties of a class of semiconductors with promising applications in solar energy conversion. Findings from the project have the potential to enhance scientific knowledge and inform the development of more efficient photovoltaic devices.
