Project description
New method for large acenes synthesis could reach the commercial stage
Acenes are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons made up of linearly fused benzene rings. The larger representatives have potential interest in optoelectronic applications and are actively researched in chemistry and electrical engineering. The aim of the EU-funded PLAT_ACE project is to assess the viability of a novel method of synthesising large acenes and whether it is scalable for industrial applications.
Objective
The aim of PLAT_ACE is to study the technical and commercial viability of this novel synthetic methodology and its industrial implementation for the generation of nonacene and other larger acenes supported onto surfaces for use in semi-conducting devices with unprecendeted electronic properties and low bandgap. Our technology will be benchmarked against current industrial methodologies to identify the unique selling points and niche applications.
We will demonstrate the application of the new acenes as organic based transistors and for other electronic applications by their controlled deposition of
different surfaces.
