Research on Functional Nanocarbon Hybrids for Optoelectrical Applications

Why do we focus on Carbon-Nanostructures?

In the last two decades, 0D/1D/2D carbon nanostructures have garnered significant interest due to their outstanding electronic, thermal, optical, chemical, and mechanical properties. The limitations of modern optoelectronic devices made from organic materials primarily arise from issues related to material stability after prolonged operation. This challenge could be addressed by utilizing the enhanced stability of carbon nanostructures in nano-hybrid or nano-composite architectures integrated into photoactive layers. Through molecular/nanomaterial design, novel hybrid structures with improved stability against environmental factors can be achieved. For direct integration of thin films into optoelectronic devices, these nanohybrids can be formulated into solution processable inks.
