Molecular Design of Opto-Electronic Materials (Zhen Li)

Comprehensive overview of molecular packing in different fields
 
Molecular Design of Opto-Electronic Materials delivers insights on molecular packing and its practical applications, from basic knowledge of organic compounds as a single molecule to the aggregated state. The book reviews aspects of molecular packing including internal mechanisms, main effective factors, control methods, and preferred structures in various functional materials.
 
Molecular Design of Opto-Electronic Materials includes information on:
 
* Research methodology of molecular aggregation science, covering theoretical calculations, general methods, and other methods
* Photoluminescence of molecular aggregates, covering fluorescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), and phosphorescence
* Molecular aggregates as active layers in organic solar cells, covering effects of donor and acceptor aggregates
* Molecular aggregates for second-order nonlinear optical effect, covering microscopic and macroscopic nonlinearities of organic systems, and organic molecules and polymers for second-order nonlinear optics
* Other opto-electric materials in aggregate, including magnetic and radical materials as well as metal- and covalent-organic frameworks
 
Molecular Design of Opto-Electronic Materials is an excellent reference for chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and electrical engineers involved in development of opto-electronic materials who are seeking to expand their knowledge bases and stay up-to-date with current applications.

Zhen Li received his BSc and PhD degrees from Wuhan University (WHU) in China in 1997 and 2002, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Jingui Qin. In 2003-2004, he worked at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in the group of Prof. Ben Zhong Tang. In 2010, he worked at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the group of Prof. Seth Marder. He has been a full professor at WHU since 2006 and a chair professor at Tianjin University since 2018. His research interests are in the development of organic molecules and polymers with new structures and new functions for organic electronics and photonics. He has authored over 200 scientific publications and has received numerous scientific awards, including Chinese Chemical Society Award for Outstanding Young Chemist (2007), National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars (2013), Young and Middle-aged Innovation Leading Talents (2015), Ten Thousand People Plan of Central Organization Department (2017), and Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2017).
