With the aim of deepen our understanding of organic materials for photovoltaic applications, the host group has recently developed a high throughput platform that enables the fast evaluation of promising organic materials and simultaneously produce design rules in terms of processing methods and improved compounds. The activities of the successful candidate will focus on the fabrication, characterization and understanding of organic photovoltaic devices based on non-fullerene acceptors, all polymer heterojunctions, as well as ternary blends. The structure-performance nexus will be assessed through spectroscopic and microscopic means. Machine learning algorithms might also be implemented to deduce underlying fundamental trends.

The postdoctoral researcher will join the group of Dr. Mariano Campoy Quiles at the Nanostructured Materials Department of ICMAB-CSIC (icmab.es/nanopto).
