This $391,303 National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry Project Grant will support the development of new panchromatic supramolecular assemblies for light harvesting. Principal Investigator Victor Nemykin of the University of Tennessee will prepare and characterize a set of electron-donating porphyrinoids paired with novel electron-accepting chromophores such as bodipy, aza-bodipy, and mb-dipy derivatives. These new molecules aim to outperform commonly used carbon nanomaterials as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic devices. The research aligns with the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goal of strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding major problems. The grant period is August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025.
