Von der hinteren Coverseite

Low-Dimensional Halide Perovskites: Structure, Properties and Applications provides an in-depth look at halide perovskite materials and their applications. The first three chapters cover the history, fundamentals, and physiochemical and optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites. The fourth chapter covers their synthesis and characterization.

Although lead (Pb) based halide perovskites are highly efficient for various applications, the toxicity of Pb is one of the most alarming issues delaying commercialization. Therefore, chapter 5 focusses on Pb-free perovskites and their green syntheses. The book concludes with sections describing the different applications of halide perovskites for solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photo detector, as well as the challenges faced in the industrialization of halide perovskite-based devices and the prospects for their further deployment.
