Description

A recent research line of the group has been the synthesis and study of supramolecular adducts between species of electron donors (porphyrins, metal complexes, etc.) and fullerenes (good charge acceptors). This study has been extended to other carbon nanoalotropes such as carbon nanotubes and the well-known graphene. This technological offer aims at producing photoactive materials based on different composites previously studied in the laboratory, which can be used in new generations of photovoltaic cells.
