DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Optimizing the molecular structures of organic photov
 oltaic (OPV) materials is one of the most effective methods to boost power 
 conversion efficiencies. Extensive OPV research has thus focused on the dev
 elopment of materials and architectures that efficiently harvest light and 
 energy and transport charges to separate electrodes. However\, there are fo
 ur major challenges in improving OPV technologies: (a) poor light harvestin
 g\, (b) inefficient exciton splitting into holes and electrons\, (c) increa
 sed recombination of separated charges at the donor/acceptor interface and 
 (d) inefficient collection of charges at the active layer/electrode interfa
 ce. In this presentation\, I will introduce our approaches to address these
  key challenges\, using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)\, porous hybrid mat
 erials which have synthetically and chemical tunable nanoarchitectures and 
 are processable onto industrially relevant substrates. The structure-proper
 ty relationships generated from our fundamental research will highlight a m
 ore straightforward design strategy for experimentalists in this field and 
 be particularly impactful in cases where OPV materials exhibit low efficien
 cy due in part to disordered donor-acceptor networks.\n\nFollow us on Comet
