The Jensen Group

The focus of the Jensen group computational-driven discovery and development of functional transition-metal compounds such as catalysts and dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells. We contribute mechanistic insight and predictions as to new and improved compounds and also follow up selected predictions by synthesis, characterization and testing.
