Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials are composed of both organic (carbon-based) and inorganic (non-carbon-based) components. These materials combine the desirable properties of both types, such as the flexibility and processability of organic materials with the strength and thermal stability of inorganic materials. They are used in various applications, including electronics, coatings, and solar cells.
The unique structure of organic-inorganic hybrids allows for tunable properties, making them suitable for advanced technologies. For instance, they can enhance the performance of devices like LEDs and photovoltaics. Researchers continue to explore new combinations to improve efficiency and functionality in these materials.
