Dwight Seferos

The Seferos group studies electronic and redox-active organic materials. A large part of the work involves the synthesis of new classes of polymers. We have been heavily involved in the preparation of well-defined conjugated polymers, including thiophenes, selenophenes, tellurophene, and related heterocycles. Many of these polymers have found use in a range of applications such as solar cells, thin-film transistors, and thermoelectrics. We also prepare new organic materials for Li-ion battery applications. These projects involve synthesis, electrochemistry, and finally battery fabrication and testing. Emerging areas of interest are the development of degradable plastics, CO₂ capture and utilization, and the accelerated discovery of materials.
