Within this framework, we are developing new biosensors based on polymeric conductors capable, for example, of recording electrical signals as well as measuring concentrations of relevant biological species directly in physiological media, in tissues or even in isolated cells.
Perovskite-based solar cells are an alternative to current silicon photovoltaic systems, as it is possible to reduce the cost of production. The group is working on the development of this type of device with the aim of achieving high yields and high efficiencies at a low cost, which would allow the scope of application of this technology to be extended.
Development of OLEDs using air-stable materials, making it possible to dispense with encapsulation, considerably reducing manufacturing costs.
LECSs do not require encapsulation, so they are a cost-effective alternative to OLEDs and HyLEDs in some applications. Our goal is to develop and study LECs with longer lifetimes, shorter turn-on times and a wide colour range.
Molecular Spintronics: SPIN- OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), SPIN Valves, OFETs (Organic Field Effect Transistors).
Magneto-structural properties (ac and dc susceptibilities, magnetization, ESR, Inelastic Neutron Scattering, single-crystal X-ray diffraction), Transport properties (single-crystal electrical conductivities, magnetoresistance).
