Described herein are two projects focusing on developing and investigating two types of nanoparticles (NPs) grown by the seeded growth method from a conducting metallopolymer for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Core/shell ...

The thiophene-based metallopolymer provides a great template for redox-active catalysts. Chemical or electrochemical doping of the metallopolymer can generate charged species within the polymer backbone thereby tuning the ...

The work herein consists of two projects in which nanoparticle-metallopolymer hybrid bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) systems are modified for improved performance in photovoltaic and electronic applications. The first project ...
