Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metal halide perovskites have emerged at the forefront of research for sustainable energy applications, particularly in photovoltaics. Achieving an impressive power conversion efficiency exceeding 26%, these materials stand out for their exceptional optoelectronic properties—high carrier mobility, extensive absorption spectrum, and tunable bandgap—positioning them as potential candidates for conventional solar cell technologies.

This Special Issue seeks the submission of contributions spanning the wide spectrum of perovskite research, from synthesis to a thorough exploration of their inherent properties and developing strategies, aiming at amplifying the performance and reliability of perovskite applications, including photovoltaics, optoelectronics, electrochemistry, and beyond. We encourage submissions that cover scientific and engineering breakthroughs, including novel synthesis approaches, the understanding of material properties at the nano- to macro-scale and the correlation between material structure and related performance, advancements in device fabrication, insights into the mechanisms governing device efficiency and stability, and extend the application of perovskite nanomaterials beyond conventional devices.

This Special Issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of metal halide perovskite nanomaterials through original research articles and comprehensive reviews, thereby accelerating their journey from laboratory curiosities to commercial solutions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The ligand engineering of inorganic lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) is an indispensable strategy to boost their photoluminescence stability, which is pivotal for optoelectronics applications. CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) PQDs exhibit exceptional optical properties, including high color purity and tunable bandgaps. Despite their promising characteristics, environmental sensitivity poses a challenge to their stability. This article reviews the solution-based synthesis methods with ligand engineering. It introduces the impact of factors like humidity, temperature, and light exposure on PQD’s instability, as well as in situ and post-synthesis ligand engineering strategies. The use of various ligands, including X- and L-type ligands, is reviewed for their effectiveness in enhancing stability and luminescence performance. Finally, the significant potential of ligand engineering for the broader application of PQDs in optoelectronic devices is also discussed. Full article
