Metal-halide perovskites provide a remarkably versatile platform for engineering optoelectronic properties through control of composition, structure, and dimensionality. Moving beyond conventional three-dimensional perovskites, low- and mixed-dimensional architectures introduce new degrees of freedom to manipulate quantum and dielectric confinement, excitonic character, electronic energy landscapes, and carrier transport.

In this talk, I will discuss our recent work on dimensionality engineering of metal-halide perovskites using thermal evaporation. The precise control over composition, thickness, and deposition sequence offered by vacuum processing enables the formation of low-dimensional phases, mixed-dimensional films, and multilayer heterostructures, providing a versatile platform to systematically tailor their optical and electronic properties.[1-3] We explore how the coexistence and spatial distribution of different dimensionalities reshape the energy landscape and influences carrier dynamics which ultimately results in a powerful design parameter to tune light absorption and emission, charge transport, and overall optoelectronic functionality.

These studies highlight multidimensional perovskites as a broader materials platform in which structure and dimensionality can be deliberately engineered to access functionalities beyond those available in conventional three-dimensional films, opening opportunities across photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and emerging photonic and optoelectronic technologies.

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
