Low-Dimensional Halide Perovskites: Structure, Synthesis, and Applications

Low-Dimensional Halide Perovskites: Structure, Properties and Applications provides an in-depth look at halide perovskite materials and their applications. Chapters cover history, fundamentals, physiochemical and optoelectronic properties, synthesis and characterization of traditional and Pb-free halide perovskites. The book concludes with sections describing the different applications of halide perovskites for solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photo detectors, as well as the challenges faced in the industrialization of halide perovskite-based devices and forward-thinking prospects for further deployment.

• Discusses the applications of halide perovskites according to their dimensionality
• Includes a look at current challenges for the commercialization of halide perovskites, while also previewing some possible solutions
• Presents alternative environmentally-friendly materials that can used to replace the current toxic materials-based halide perovskites
