Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metal halide perovskite nanomaterials recently emerged as star materials in many fields, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and detectors. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advances in perovskite nanomaterials for functional devices. Examples include the synthesis and characterization of novel perovskite nanocrystals, perovskite quantum dot light-emitting diodes, perovskite quantum dot solar cells, perovskite-nanomaterials-based detectors, perovskite nanocrystal scintillators, etc.

This Special Issue covers all aspects of perovskite nanomaterials, including theory, synthetic efforts, novel processing methods, and the developments in device performance. In addition to lead halide-based nanomaterials, lead-free perovskites nanomaterials will also be included.

The all-inorganic perovskite cesium lead bromine (CsPbBr3) has attracted much attention in the field of X-ray detectors because of its high X-ray absorption coefficient, high carrier collection efficiency, and easy solution preparation. The low-cost anti-solvent method is the main method to prepare CsPbBr3; during this process, solvent volatilization will bring a large number of holes to the film, leading to the increase of defects. Based on the heteroatomic doping strategy, we propose that Pb2+ should be partially replaced by Sr2+ to prepare leadless all-inorganic perovskite. The introduction of Sr2+ promoted the ordered growth of CsPbBr3 in the vertical direction, increased the density and uniformity of the thick film, and achieved the goal of CsPbBr3 thick film repairing. In addition, the prepared CsPbBr3 and CsPbBr3:Sr X-ray detectors were self-powered without external bias, maintaining a stable response during on and off states at different X-ray dose rates. Furthermore, the detector base on 160 µm CsPbBr3:Sr had a sensitivity of 517.02 µC Gyair−1 cm−3 at zero bias under the dose rate of 0.955 µGy ms−1 and it obtained a fast response speed of 0.053–0.148 s. Our work provides a new opportunity to produce cost-effective and highly efficient self-powered perovskite X-ray detectors in a sustainable way. Full article

Local distortions in perovskites can be induced by cation displacements and/or by the tilting and rotating of cation–anion octahedra. Both phenomena have been subject to intense investigations over many years. However, there are still controversies in the results obtained from experimental techniques that are sensitive to long-range order (X-ray, neutron, or electron diffraction) and those sensitive to short-range order (X-ray absorption spectroscopy). In this study, we probed the details of the local environment in AMoO3 perovskites (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in a wide temperature range (10–300 K). An advanced analysis of the EXAFS spectra within the multiple-scattering formalism using the reverse Monte Carlo method enhanced by an evolutionary algorithm allowed us (i) to extract detailed information on metal–oxygen and metal–metal radial distribution functions, and metal–oxygen–metal and oxygen–metal–oxygen bond angle distribution functions, and (ii) to perform polyhedral analysis. The obtained results demonstrate the strong sensitivity of the EXAFS spectra to the tilting of [MoO6] octahedra induced by the differences in the sizes of alkaline earth metal cations (Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+).
