Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP220103584

Funded Activity Summary

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.
