Scientists from PUC-Rio, UFMG and CBPF, in collaboration with a researcher from ITS SASA (Serbia), have unraveled the relationship between structural defects and optoelectronic properties in semiconductor nanoparticles that are promising for use in batteries and catalysts. The authors studied \u201cF-type color centers\u201d, defects in the crystal structure that alter the optical properties of materials, often leading to distinct colors. The authors demonstrated how the heat treatment conditions of the material influence the quantity and type of the \u201cF-type color centers\u201d formed.

A team from UFPR, UnB and UFRJ has conducted a theoretical study that could help improve the efficiency of organic solar cells and LEDs. The authors studied fundamental phenomena that occur in \u201cnon-fullerene acceptors\u201d \u2013 carbon-based semiconductor molecules that are used to accept and transport electrons in organic optoelectronic devices. In 10 different molecules, the team investigated \u201cintersystem crossing\u201d, which occurs when a molecule changes from one type of spin state to another, affecting the performance of the devices.

Professor Priscila Alessio (Unesp – Presidente Prudente) is on the list of 19 early-career researchers chosen from among 300 candidates worldwide by the journal ACS Materials Au as \u201cRising Stars in Materials Science 2024\u201d. The selected scientists are featured in a special issue<\/b><\/a>, which brings together articles published by them over the past year, as well as an editorial containing their mini-bios and photos. Our member was highlighted for being the corresponding author of the perspective article \u201cNanostructured thin films enhancing the performance of new organic electronic devices: Does it make sense?\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
