Inorganic materials for printed electronics

Functional metal oxides for electronic applications

Project Description

The successful IREP student will conduct synthetic work toward the synthesis of inorganic molecular complexes suitable for thin film metal oxide preparation. He/she will be involved in the formation of thin films by spin coating, dip coating and ink jet printing. He will learn how to characterize the obtained thin films by appropriate spectroscopic and microscopic characterization techniques. As functional properties he will study the electronic properties, e.g. the electrical conductivity and the semiconducting behaviour of such films. All studies will be conducted under the guidance of an experienced second or third year PhD student. With his engagement in the project the IREP student will support ongoing research activities in the laboratories of the PI.

The project is supervised by Prof. Dr. Jörg J. Schneider.

  • Interest in synthetic work in a chemistry lab.
  • Basic knowledge of synthetetic chemistry (inorganic, organic) is needed.
  • Recent review articles in Chem. Soc. Reviews, Angewandte Chemie on inorganic materials/electronic materials/printed electronics
