Photophysics Unit
THE UNIT IN 2014
The Photophysics Unit is specialized in the field of material characterization. In a highly applied research level, this laboratory provides ICIQ researchers with equipment for molecular photovoltaic and organic LEDs devices characterization, such as device efficiency, stability, charge recombination processes, etc.
The main experiments carried out in 2014 at the Photophysics Unit are related with molecular solar cells devices: dye sensitized, organic polymer-fullerene, small molecules, quantum dots, and perovskites solar cells. On the other hand, thanks to the unit’s optoelectronics facilities, multiple light sources have been developed, specially those based on LEDs.º The Photophysics Unit has also been involved in the design and fabrication of photochemical reactors to be used in the HTE CELLEX-ICIQ laboratory.
