The Chemistry and Materials Design group is interdisciplinary laboratory at the Institute for Electronics, pursuing use-inspired chemical engineering and materials science projects to improve existing technologies and to enable new functionalities. We focus on nanomaterials, such as semiconductor and metallic nanoparticles, and molecular precursors, particularly on robust synthetic approaches and structural characterization of these nanomaterials. Our goal is to establish the structure-property-performance relationships for these nanomaterials and employ them as building blocks for various efficient devices, engineered via bottom-up liquid-phase fabrication approaches.
