This Centre aims to manipulate the way light energy is absorbed, transported and transformed in advanced molecular materials. The research programme spans high-throughput computational screening, single molecule photochemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy and embraces innovative outreach and commercial translation activities. The Centre plans to capture the knowledge generated as new intellectual property, materials processing know-how, and through the creation of new employment opportunities. The expected outcomes and benefits include new Australian technologies in solar energy conversion, energy-efficient lighting and displays, security labelling and optical sensor platforms for defence.Read moreRead less
Charge and energy transport in disordered functional materials. This project aims to understand how energy and electric charge move through disordered materials. Many next-generation materials—including organic semiconductors, hybrid perovskites, and conductive metal-organic frameworks—promise better solar cells, sensors, and electrocatalysts; however, they remain incompletely understood because they are disordered and noisy systems that are difficult to describe mathematically. This project exp ....Charge and energy transport in disordered functional materials. This project aims to understand how energy and electric charge move through disordered materials. Many next-generation materials—including organic semiconductors, hybrid perovskites, and conductive metal-organic frameworks—promise better solar cells, sensors, and electrocatalysts; however, they remain incompletely understood because they are disordered and noisy systems that are difficult to describe mathematically. This project expects to develop the first theoretical techniques that capture all essential features of transport in disordered materials. The resulting understanding of structure-function relationships should accelerate the rational design of cutting-edge devices for energy conversion and storage.Read moreRead less
