Perovskite Semiconductor Nanocrystals

Semiconductor nanocrystals have been extensively studied and applied to artificial lighting, displays, solar cells, photodetectors, and biomedical areas. In the past few years, perovskite and perovskite analogue nanocrystals have emerged as important nanomaterials particularly in the energy field, showing unique features such as defect tolerance, color purity, tunable band gap, and charge/exciton transport behaviors. Significant efforts have been devoted to the synthesis and investigation of perovskite materials with novel composition and structure for a variety of optoelectronic devices.

In light of the impact of perovskite nanocrystals and their rapidly growing community, this special issue will focus on emerging topics in this area including, but not limited to perovskite and perovskite analogue semiconductor nanocrystals with novel structures and properties, and their application in light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and radiation detectors.
