Perovskite-Like Quantum Dots Designed for Advanced Optoelectronic Applications

Abstract

Many studies have focused on understanding synthesis parameters, defects, electronic and structural properties of novel functional materials, which has proven to be extremely important for the development of new technologies. This may, in principle, provide clues to elucidate some of their design rules at the nanoscale further. However, currently, it is still virtually impossible to predict the final shape of these colloidal nanocrystals, as well as their unique properties, which in turn are strongly dependent on crystal morphologies as prepared. Hence, diverse strategies have been widely adopted to obtain novel target materials with well-defined morphologies. Among emerging materials, more recently, perovskite-like materials have gained immense attention due to their outstanding properties. In this chapter, we will present the recent progress in synthesis, theory, and characterization of perovskite-like colloidal nanocrystals for the development of advanced optoelectronic applications.
