ASPERIUM is an innovative project focused on the use of organic and hybrid semiconductors as advanced excitonic materials to establish a sustainable light management scheme. The project is led by the Device Technology and Chemical Physics Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering of the Cyprus University of Technology.
ASPERIUM will study the kinetics of the electronic processes responsible for the losses in the performance of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices developed by organic excitonic materials. Excitonic materials are the materials par excellence for light harvesting that directly link to the national Smart Specialization Strategy (S3CY) priority area of Solar Energy. They are ideal platforms for solar to electrical (third generation photovoltaic technologies) and solar to chemical (solar fuels and photocatalysts) energy conversion. As such, this class of materials holds great promise to enable the access of human societies to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy, thereby complying with the Sustainable Development Goal 7 of the United Nations Member States.
The project SMALL SCALE INFRASTRUCTURES/1222/0067 is implemented under the programme of social cohesion “THALIA 2021-2027” co-funded by the European Union, through Research and Innovation Foundation.
PRC is reponsible to engineer wearable pressure sensing devices by developing cost-effective fiber-coupled OPD photodiodes.
