Congratulations to Professor Sirringhaus for receiving advanced funding from the European Research Council (ERC)! Supporting his NANO-DECTET project, this research is a collection of initiatives aimed at leveraging the unique properties of molecular organic semiconductors and organic-inorganic hybrids to design more efficient thermoelectric materials. With approximately two-thirds of primary energy use lost as heat waste, it is critically important to develop materials capable of converting this loss to useful electric power, especially considering the pressing call to address climate change.
