Welcome To Nanoscale Optoelectronics Group
Our research focus is the development of NEW earth-abundant novel perovskite nanomaterials and their self-assembly for different Photonic, Magnetic, and Optoelectronic Applications. Synthesis of nanomaterials involves a wide variety of technics like Wet chemical synthesis, Hot injection synthesis, Chemical vapor deposition(CVD), Antisolvent assisted crystallization, etc.
Perovskites: the new generation of optoelectronics
​
Nanocrystals (NCs) of lead halide perovskites (LHPs), with the chemical formula of ABX3 (A = monovalent cation, B= divalent cation and X = Halides) have emerged as a promising class of semiconducting materials for optoelectronic applications due to their optimal tunable band gap, long carrier diffusion length, high absorption coefficient, good defect tolerance, easy solution processability with bright photoluminescence.
​
These easily synthesized materials are considered the future of large area efficient solar cells and light emitting devices, as their distinctive structure makes them perfect for enabling low-cost, efficient photovoltaics. They are also predicted to play a pivotal role in next-gen electric vehicle batteries, sensors, lasers, and much more.
