Solar cells typically base on a comparatively brittle, half-millimeter thick slice of silicon as the semiconductor. Exploiting alternative materials can provide flexibility as to the appearance of the cells such as their color, and their integration into everyday objects. Furthermore, this strategy can enable significant gains in the amount of material and energy required to […]

Host-guest recognition is an essential part of supramolecular chemistry which is concerned with the interactions and optimal design of host molecules for specific guest molecules. Here, we modelled a perylene bisimide based macrocycle synthesized in the group of Maria Eugenia Perez-Ojeda that is able to bind fullerenes, which may have future applications in the field […]
