One of the fundamental challenges to improving efficiency in organic electronic devices is charge carrier recombination at both polymer/polymer and polymer/electrode interfaces.  The achievement of both spatial and energy level alignment is crucial to suppressing recombination and optimizing device efficiencies.  The longstanding goal of bringing the atomic-level control of organic synthesis to bear on device design is now within reach as a result of recent advances.  Our current process for synthesizing organic/inorganic junctions was designed with these challenges specifically in mind.  Through this technique, we hope to achieve novel device architectures in which the interfaces between the electrodes and active materials are chemically well defined.
