Morphology control for nano-phase separation structures

In recent years, morphology control has emerged as an important research topic in many fields such as chemistry, biology, and medicine for the development of highly efficient materials and functional structures of devices based on organic and inorganic materials and their hybrids. Once developed, these techniques will pave the way for a wide range of possibilities such as the creation of highly efficient novel functional structures in many research fields. Here, I describe the methods for morphology control of nano-phase separation structures in the photoactive layer of organic thin-film solar cells and organic-inorganic hybrid thin-film solar cells from the viewpoint of chemical engineering and electrochemical fields [1-3].
