The Organic Electronics and Photonics Group

Research group Organic electronics constitute the synthesis and study of organic materials with electronic and/or photonic function and the realization of functional devices based on such materials. Ludvig Edman's group investigates a broad range of organic and organic-hybrid electronic materials, including conjugated polymers, fullerenes, graphene, transition-metal complexes and perovskites, and utilize the best performing materials for the development of light-emission devices, solar cells and transistors.

Our research is currently supported by the European Research Council (through ERC Advanced Grant "InnovaLEC"), the Swedish Research Council, the Swedish Energy Agency, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundations, Belysningsstiftelsen, the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE) funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and Kempestiftelserna.
