Perovskite nanoparticles : synthesis, properties, and novel applications in photovoltaics and LEDs

2018

Solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on metal-halide perovskites are transitioning from promising performers to direct competitors to well-established technologies, with cost-effectiveness as a strong advantage. Nanostructured perovskites have yielded record LEDs due to their higher versatility in the local management of charge carriers, which has enabled photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) close to 100%. However, these perovskite nanostructures are yet to be fully exploited in other applications such as photovoltaics, where they can also present competitive advantages as they enable feasible routes to surpass the Shockley–Queisser limit by means of multiexciton generatio…
