Yu Group
Welcome to the Yu Group @ PolyU!
Our research focuses on the rational design and synthesis of organic aromatic systems and conjugated polymers. We combine experimental and computational approaches to systematically investigate the relationships between molecular structure, electronic properties, and device performance. By advancing the understanding of conjugated materials, the Yu Group aims to develop next-generation materials for photovoltaics, photothermal therapy, photocatalysis, and related photo-functional applications.
Research Overview



Design and synthesis of π-conjugated semiconductors for high-performance organic photovoltaic active layers
Molecular engineering of interfacial materials to improve efficiency and stability in organic/ perovskite solar cells
