Abstract for Presentation

Photonics and energy applications of perovskite devices

Perovskite  materials have been widely used in photonic applications  because of their facile manufacture and excellent optoelectronic performance, including high optical  absorption  for  solar  cells,  high  color  purity  and  spectral  stability  for  lightemitting  diodes,  large  Stokes  shift  or  small  absorption-emission  overlap  (low reabsorption  loss)  for  luminescent  solar  concentrators,  to  name  a  few.  Recently, perovskites have been adopted for energy harvesting applications because of their large piezoelectric coefficients. In this talk, I will present the latest progress in perovskite research  ranging  from  photonics  to  energy-related  applications  [1-10].  The  research discoveries  include  efficient  solar  cells  based  on  monolayer  perovskite  bridges  that enabled  strong  quantum  dot  coupling;  bright,  narrowband,  and  stable  blue  emitting perovskite diodes  enabled by  chloride insertion-immobilization;  attachable  luminescent solar  concentrators;  and  high-performance  nanogenerators  based  on  perovskite materials.
