PolyU-SNU Bilateral Workshop - Flexible Organic and Perovskite Electronics

This marks the fifth bilateral workshop between PolyU and SNU. Organic semiconductors have been studied for over 50 years. Unlike conventional semiconductor materials, organic semiconductors can be prepared by a convenient, low-cost solution process, making them compatible with printing technologies. Other unique properties, such as mechanical flexibility, tunable band structures via molecular design and unique conduction mechanisms, have also generated immense research interest. Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites are another emerging class of functional materials that can be used in devices similar to organic semiconductors, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes, sensors and field-effect transistors. All these materials have demonstrated great potential for practical applications, particularly in the field of flexible electronics. Researchers at PolyU and SNU have been actively working on various aspects of these materials, including fundamental physics and chemistry, information science and clean energy.

This bilateral workshop brings together 20 speakers, both senior and junior, from PolyU, SNU, Hanyang University, Yonsei University and the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST). They will share their insights and valuable experiences through this knowledge-sharing platform. The workshop series also aims to promote inter-institutional collaborations on important scientific topics and explore opportunities for further commercializing the latest research findings.
