However, a fundamental barrier has been poor control over the transport of light energy in these materials.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Solar cells are powered by silicon semiconductors absorbing sunlight and converting that sunlight into electricity. For organic materials to match the efficiency of silicon, scientists need to control the behavior of excitons, formed when light is absorbed by molecules, much more effectively.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The Sheffield University project aims to solve this problem. If successful the project will drive down the cost and improve the performance of organic materials and transforming approaches to solar energy production and consumer electronics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Professor Graham Leggett, Head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sheffield and project lead, said: \u201cControl of excitons is essential for many new and emerging technologies identified in the government&#8217;s Industrial Strategy as being vital to the economic success of the UK, including solar energy capture, photocatalysis, quantum technologies, and the design of diagnostic devices for personalized medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cAn unsolved grand challenge has been to develop design rules for the long-range transport of excitons.
