The OzdemirLAB group conducts multidisciplinary research to develop novel carbon-based optoelectronic materials. We employ organic synthesis in combination with various characterization techniques, including NMR, MALDI-TOF, absorption/emission profiling, cyclic voltammetry, GI-XRD, and AFM. Our research addresses four major objectives:
- Development of small-molecule hole transport materials for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to enhance long-term operational stability
- Theoretical design and synthesis of n-type, ambient-stable semiconductors used in solution-processed organic thin film transistors (OTFTs)
- Development of durable covalent organic framework (COF) structures for capturing CO2 from open air
- Mechanistic understanding of molecule sensitive organic surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (o-SERS) platforms
