FWF - SChybiSiC - Photophysics and Charge Transport in Hybrid Blends of P3AT and beta-SiC Nanocrystals

In this project, we investigate a system using the non-oxidic inorganic wide-band gap semiconductor 3C-SiC (cubic silicon carbide) as the acceptor in an organic poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) donor matrix. Its band energies are suitable to match the HOMO/LUMO of organic donors, which provides a promising outlook for its functionality in hybrid photovoltaics.
