Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) will be critical components of next-generation biosensors, optoelectronics, and energy storage devices. To develop materials with sufficient ionic and electronic conductivities will require new synthetic designs. The Evans Research Group is interested in exploring contorted aromatic materials that are known to (1) host high electronic conductivities and (2) be highly ion permeable. Specifically, we are interested in how chemical design can be leveraged to control both the local permeability and the higher order structure of OMIECs. This multimodal and multiscale approach will address the shortcomings of existing OMIEC designs.
