Energy conversion processes are ubiquitous in natural systems and in modern technologies, such as light-emitting, photovoltaic and thermoelectric devices.
In this contribution I will talk about computational approaches to describe energy and charge transfer mechanisms in organic functional materials and interfaces. I will introduce non-adiabatic excited state dynamics as a way to model energy transfer mechanisms at the molecular scale, focusing on the description of photovoltaic processes in organic functional materials. Furthermore, I will report recent computational and experimental insights for the accurate description of charge and heat transfer processes in extended pi-conjugated systems, considered as active materials for high mobility (my > 10 cm2V-1s-1) field effect transistors and thermoelectric cells.
