Laboratory for Molecular Engineering of Optoelectronic Nanomaterials

The Molecular Engineering Laboratory of Optoelectronic Nanomaterials (LIMNO) at EPFL focuses on developing new semiconductor materials for electronic devices through solution-based printing techniques and self-assembly processes. Their research aims to create inexpensive and scalable materials for applications such as solar energy conversion. LIMNO's projects involve engineering semiconductor band gaps, light absorption, charge transfer, and carrier transport to enhance device performance. They have made significant progress in areas like organic-inorganic semiconductors, photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction, and perovskite solar cells, with a particular emphasis on earth-abundant and environmentally friendly materials.
