Unprecedented synthetic control

over the emergent phenomena of spin, charge, and light/matter interactions
in tailored organic-inorganic perovskite-inspired systems for energy science

The Center for Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Semiconductors for Energy (CHOISE) brings together world-leading experts to enable new insights and advances not otherwise possible in spin dynamics, hot-carrier utilization, and light emission.

CHOISE is an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science.
