Halide perovskites are fascinating semiconductors for light-emitting applications. Compared to conventional inorganic covalent semiconductors like silicon or GaAs, perovskites are structurally soft and often more disordered. Understanding the consequences of this remains a key challenge for commercialization but offers also opportunities for tailoring properties to target applications.
Here I will present our recent mechanistic insights from spectroscopy on the role of composition, doping and dimensionality to control light emission through localization effects in these materials.
I will talk about charge carrier accumulation in mixed-halide 3D systems, compare the photophysics of 2D Pb with that of new 2D germanium perovskites, and, time permitting, will introduce a new synthesis route to ambient doping of 0D nanocrystals giving for the first time access to strongly confined, transition-metal doped perovskite nanocrystals, with profound consequences for the light emitting properties of the resulting materials.
Overall I hope to highlight the promise the vast tunability of this material class holds for next-generation optoelectronic applications, once their working mechanisms are better understood.
