This federal Project Grant award, valued at $775,000.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to understand and control the factors that affect carrier mobility in doped conjugated polymers. The primary objectives are to elucidate the connections between dopant counterion size/shape and electrical properties, investigate how the energetics of crystallization impact the propensity for doping, and examine the role of the local dielectric environment in the doping process. The research team from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will use a range of experimental techniques, including synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction, electrical conductivity measurements, and ultrafast spectroscopy, to address these key questions. The project aims to advance the scientific understanding of plastic semiconductors and enable the development of improved semiconductor materials for diverse applications, including electronics, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices.
