Transparent Conductive Materials Group

The Transparent Conductive Materials and Devices Group is composed by members of the Physics Department of the University of Crete and researchers from the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser of the Foundation of Research and Technology.

The research interests:

Development and synthesis of New Metal Oxides Nanomaterials (for Sensing, Optical, Photovoltaic, Optoelectronics, Electronic, PhotoCatalytic and Biomedical applications).

       Development of New type Gas Sensors for environmental monitoring.

•        Synthesis of New Photo-Catalysts which can effectively degraded outdoor and indoor pollutants utilizing UV and Visible light.

•        Development of n- and p-type Metal Oxides of TCOs and ASOs

•        Transparent Thin Films Transistors (TFTs) for transparent Electronics

•         Flexible Electronics on PET, PEN substrate

•         Development of Electrochromic materials and devices

•         Hydrophilic / Hydrophobic self cleaning surfaces for House – hold applications

Gas Sensing

• Reducing Gas Molecules (e.g. CO, H₂, CH₄, ethanol, propane)

• Oxidising Gas Molecules (e.g. NO₂, O₃, SO₂, Cl₂,

Photo-Catalyst and Photo-Catalysis

• Degradation of Dye’s

• Degradation of inorganic compounds (NO_x, SO_x, ….) and Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzene, toluene…
