The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: The Optoelectronic Molecular Devices Group focuses on the development of optoelectronic devices such as electroluminescent devices (organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) and photovoltaic devices for the lighting and signalling sectors, as well as in the solar energy sector. Using the same molecular semiconductors, biosensors are also being developed for the detection of human indicators.

Scientific-technical goals: - Desarrollar celdas emisoras de luz, dispositivos fotovoltaicos, y sensores de alto rendimiento basados en capas finas.
Research lines: - OLEDs development for lighting.Development of OLEDs using air-stable materials, making it possible to dispense with encapsulation, considerably reducing manufacturing costs.
- High efficienciy LECs development.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.
- Perovskite based photovoltaics development.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 bio-sensors for the detection of human indicators.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.
