Professor Yaxin Zhai and graduate student Miao wang have co-authored a new review article entitled "Advantageous properties of halide perovskite quantum dots towards energy-efficient sustainable applications". The paper, published in the journal Green Energy & Environment, explores the potential of halide perovskite quantum dots (HPQDs) to revolutionize the fields of electronics, optoelectronics, and photonics.
Lead halide perovskite (LHP) semiconductors have already made a significant impact in the solar photovoltaic area. However, the authors suggest that low-dimensional quantum dot forms of these materials, known as PQDs, have the potential to be even more advantageous due to their high defect tolerance, quantum size effects, and desirable optoelectronic properties, such as near-perfect photoluminescent quantum yield, multiple exciton generation, and slow hot-carrier cooling.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of the advantageous properties of HPQDs, discussing their potential applications in light-emitting devices, solar cells, photocatalysts, lasers, detectors, and memristors. The authors also highlight the challenges associated with energy-efficient sustainable applications based on HPQDs.
Overall, this review article is a timely and informative source of information on the future of HPQDs, and could serve as a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals alike.
