Global warming is a significant result of the increase in human activity and consumption of fossil fuels that have toxic consequences. Luckily, scientists and engineers across the world are driving forward future generations of technologies by tirelessly working to harvest energy from motion, light, and heat, and store this energy so that it is available on demand.Many devices are capable of converting different forms of energy to electricity. The components of these devices are made up of inorganic and organic materials, or hybrids thereof, that have been carefully designed and optimized to meet metrics of success for the desired application. The performance of energy management devices is not solely dependent on chemical design of the materials, but these materials should ideally be nontoxic, flexible, light weight, and multifunctional for optimal lifetime performance and durability; otherwise, efforts to address new devices and materials proves insufficient.This thesis describes the use of fundamental chemistry for accessing and understanding new materials and their properties. The work described herein covers the self-assembly of small molecules into tailored structures, provides insight into the design and preparation of new organic materials, and illustrates the use of organic modifiers to improve the performance properties of inorganic thin films. 2019-01-29 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1534549229335968 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1534549229335968 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
