Inorganic Perovskite Materials And Devices

This book describes in detail the reported synthesis methods of inorganic perovskite semiconductors, including nanocrystal, films, and single crystals. Then, the promising properties of inorganic perovskite semiconductors, such as high luminescent efficiencies, strong absorption, and excellent stability, are discussed and summarized. Owing to the attracted performance of inorganic perovskite semiconductors above, their potential applications in solid-state lighting and visible light communication, laser devices, solar cells, detectors, as well as electronic devices, are reviewed in this book. Apart from the conventional inorganic lead halide perovskites, lead-free metal halide perovskites are described and discussed. Finally, it also covers the recent challenges and perspectives of the inorganic perovskite semiconductors. This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in inorganic perovskites, researchers investigating novel inorganic perovskite, and engineers who working on the optimization of inorganic-perovskite-based devices.

This book systematically illustrates the crystal structures, physic-chemical properties, fabrication process, and perovskite-related devices. In a word, perovskite has broad application prospects. However, the current challenges cannot be ignored, such as toxicity and stability.

This book summarizes current advances in the field of multifunctional perovskite materials, including information on their synthesis, characterization, and properties as well as their use in the fabrication of devices and applications.

In this volume the authors present a fairly comprehensive arrangement of this very active area of research, with its past changes and present position and outlooks.

This book discusses technologies broadly, depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power.
