Project

Hybrid perovskites as a material platform for conversion, emission and detection of light (PROCEED).

PROCEED aims to develop a new hybrid perovskite material platform for next-generation lightdetectors, emitters and harvesters. Beyond photovoltaics, hybrid perovskites are materials withhigh potential for highly relevant applications such as X-ray detectors for medical diagnosticimaging and lasers for lighting and display. To make this potential effective, the chemical andstructural flexibility of hybrid perovskites will be exploited to bring the material architecture to anext level of complexity with the introduction of extra functionalities. Implementation of novelhybrid perovskites of different composition and dimensionality (3D, 2D), structures(nanoplatelets, thin films, thick layers including nanocrystals), controlled morphology (crystallinity,uniformity), and their further integration in advanced device structures, will enable order-of-magnitude of improvement of the material stability together with a strong increase of the firstfigure-of-merit for each selected application – i.e. sensitivity for X-ray detectors, gain for laser,and power conversion efficiency for solar cells – beyond the level achievable by the respectivecurrent technologies, and with lower or similar production costs.The scope of this project requires synergy of multiple fields of science and engineering, such aschemistry, material science, processing, device fabrication and testing, demonstrators andreliability.
