Project

Organic Redoxpolymers for the Development of and Application in Organic Solar Batteries
My research focuses on the development of novel organic solar battery devices, which aim to combine the harvesting and storage of solar energy within one single material. For this purpose, I synthesize and characterize a variety of organic polymers and apply the findings in the development of a working solar battery system and new measurement systems.
