Welcome to the Hybrid Devices Group
The focus of our research lies on electronic and optoelectronic devices (based on hybrid material systems as well as organic and hybrid semiconductors), additive and resource-efficient processing such as inkjet printing, in-situ nanostructuring and synthetic methods. Our research can be applied to innovative scientific as well as technological applications in the field of sensor technology, photovoltaics and optoelectronics by the development and combination of novel electroactive materials with tailored structures and new processing methods.
