Unveiling the Role of Molecular Non-covalent Conformation Locks for Breakthroughs in Organic Solar Cells

During her Ph.D. study, Jingnan Wu focused on optimizing the molecular structure of organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials through the delved into the impact and application of non-covalent interactions (NCI) conformational locking, successfully designing and synthesizing advanced OPV materials. Further, Jingnan Wu explored the intricate relationship between molecular structure modifications/micro-morphological adjustments in the active layer and the opto-electronic performance of photovoltaic devices.

The new research findings contribute to providing valuable guidance for future designs of efficient organic semiconductor materials. Through systematic experimentation and analysis, the research significantly deepened our comprehensive understanding of the role played by NCI locks in shaping the performance of organic solar cells.
