Scientific Abstract

We aim to develop model systems with periodic, interpenetrating networks of electron donor- and acceptor-phases based on the structural paradigm of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The MOFs allow maximum control over the nature of the molecular building blocks with specific electronic properties, their sequence of assembly, their relative spatial orientation, their wall-thickness, and their overall orientation relative to a substrate. The goal of this project is to create such highly defined model systems, to enhance our understanding of the relationship between the electronic and structural parameters and the resulting light-induced charge-carrier dynamics, and ultimately to contribute to the understanding and further improvement of solar cells.
