Layered Nanomaterials for Solution-Processed Optoelectronics

This book will provide different strategies and deliberate engineering concepts for the processing and application of advanced nanomaterials with layered structures for optoelectronic devices to enable device production at an industrial scale.

Layered Nanomaterials for Solution-Processed Optoelectronics provides exhaustive state-of-the-art knowledge centered on the various two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials and their different types of applications in optoelectronic device fabrication. The first few chapters focus on the processing and application of the 2D MXene in devices for energy conversion and storage. Then, there is discussion on 2D perovskite-based nanomaterials for fabrication of photovoltaic devices and flexible light-emitting diodes. The readers will gain insight into large-area fabrication methods of flexible devices using advanced nanomaterials with layered structures such as graphene, conjugated COFs, 2D-hBN (hexagonal boron nitride), silicene, 2D polymers, transition metal dichalcogenides, and black phosphorous. Each chapter discusses the strategies and challenges for applications of layered nanomaterials in optoelectronics.

This book is intended for graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in the area of advanced nanomaterials, energy conversion, energy storage, sensors, and different types of optoelectronic devices.
