Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites are a class of advanced crystalline materials which have been rapidly developed for application in various optoelectronic devices such as emerging thin-film photovoltaics (PVs). Owing to their versatile optoelectronic properties, e.g., direct and tunable band-gap, high absorption coefficient, good charge carrier mobility, reasonable hole/electron diffusion lengths, solution processability, high specific power, possibility to realize in lower dimensions and low-cost and abundant precursor materials, hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites are promising alternatives for various optoelectronic applications compared to conventional semiconductor materials. However, there are still various scientific, technical and phenomenological aspects such as long-term stability, reproducibility, and up-scaling which need to be addressed via careful research and innovation activities to achieve versatility in their industrialization.  

We hereby invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on advances in the applications of perovskite materials in optoelectronic. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Novel low-dimensional perovskite structures and their applications in optoelectronic devices;
  • Perovskite solar cells and modules;
  • Scalable deposition methods and large area modules;
  • Device structure and light management;
  • Crystal engineering approaches and highly crystalline thin films;
  • Interface engineering and passivation;
  • Band-gap tuning and multijunction devices;
  • Nanocomposite perovskite structures and their applications;
  • Accelerated stability tests;
  • Phenomenology, thermodynamic and kinetic investigations;
  • Theoretical calculation and computational studies;
  • Simulation and modeling;
  • Characterization of photophysical properties via advanced techniques;
  • Single crystal grows and determination of crystal structure;
  • Innovative applications of perovskite based optoelectronic devices;
  • Laser processing.

All-inorganic halide perovskites, especially lead perovskite microcrystals, have attracted more and more attention because of their excellent photoelectric properties and chemical stability. Herein, high quality CsPbBr3 microcrystals with three different stable morphologies, namely microplate, frustum of a square pyramid and pyramid, were synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method through altering the flow rate of a carrier gas and were comparatively studied in structure and optical property. The photoluminescence (PL) results showed that the CsPbBr3 microplate has the best luminescence property. The structural characterization results by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray rocking curves (XRC) and Raman revealed that the flow rate of the carrier gas could manipulate the morphology evolution of CsPbBr3 microcrystals and further impact their luminescence properties.

Abstract
The improved efficiency of perovskite-related photovoltaic devices, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), is related to film uniformity, the compactness of each layer, and thickness. Herein, we improved the traditional single-solvent, solution-processed method and developed a co-solvent method to prepare a two-dimensional (2D) (C [...] Read more.
The improved efficiency of perovskite-related photovoltaic devices, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), is related to film uniformity, the compactness of each layer, and thickness. Herein, we improved the traditional single-solvent, solution-processed method and developed a co-solvent method to prepare a two-dimensional (2D) (C4H9NH3)2PbBr4 perovskite film for blue photoluminescence (PL) emissions. A poor film-forming uniformity was observed for the use of the single-solvent, dimethylformamide (DMF) method. In adding 1,2-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) of a smaller polarity to DMF, the co-solvent engineering dramatically changed the film-forming properties. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and time-resolved PL (TR-PL) spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the perovskite film prepared by the co-solvent system had a good crystallinity, fewer defects, and a longer carrier lifetime. These experimental results show a simple, scalable (1.23 × 1.23 cm2), and stable reproducibility method for preparing 2D perovskite of 415 nm wavelength PL emissions that might be beneficial for the development of ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors, blue LEDs, and high-resolution displays.

All-inorganic perovskites consisting of only inorganic elements have been recently considered as highly stable semiconductors for photoactive layer of optoelectronics applications. However, the formation of high-quality thin film and trap-reduced interface has still remains an important task, which should be solved for improving the performances of all-inorganic perovskite-based photovoltaics. Here, we adopted facile method that could reduce charge-carrier recombination by depositing a passivation agent on the top surface of the CsPbBr3 all-inorganic perovskite layer. We also found that the CsPbBr3 perovskite photovoltaic prepared from surface treatment method using n-octylammonium bromide provides an improved stability in ambient environment and 1-sun illuminating condition. Therefore, the perovskite photovoltaics fabricated from our approach offered an improved power conversion efficiency of 5.44% over that of the control device without surface treatment (4.12%).
