Multifunctional Organic-Inorganic Halide Perovskite: Applications in Solar Cells, Light-Emitting Diodes, and Resistive Memory

Perovskite is a well-known structure with the chemical formula ABX3,where A and B are cations coordinated with 12 and 6 anions,respectively,and X is an anion. Methylammonium or formamidinium organic ion–based lead iodide perovskite has been used for high-efficiency PSCs. The first report on solid-state PSCs triggered perovskite photovoltaics,leading to more than 23,000 publications as of October 2021. This book explains the electro-optical and ferroelectric properties of perovskite and details the recent progress in scalable and tandem PSCs as well as perovskite LEDs and resistive memory.

Perovskite, a renowned structure with the chemical formula ABX3, where A and B are cations coordinated with 12 and 6 anions, respectively, and X is an anion, has garnered significant attention in the field of solar cells. Since the initial report on the remarkable 10% efficiency and long-term stability of solid-state perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in 2012, followed by two subsequent seed reports in 2009 and 2011, PSCs have experienced a surge in interest. In 2020, the power conversion efficiency of PSCs was officially certified to exceed 25%, surpassing the capabilities of thin-film solar cell technologies. Methylammonium or formamidinium organic ion-based lead iodide perovskite has been widely employed for high-efficiency PSCs. The groundbreaking discovery of solid-state PSCs sparked a proliferation of research, resulting in over 23,000 publications as of October 2021. Furthermore, halide perovskite has demonstrated exceptional performance in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, and resistive memory applications, showcasing its multifunctionality.

This comprehensive book delves into the electro-optical and ferroelectric properties of perovskite, providing an in-depth exploration of the recent advancements in scalable and tandem PSCs, as well as perovskite LEDs and resistive memory. It serves as a valuable textbook and self-help study guide for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students studying materials science and engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, and nanotechnology. Researchers in photovoltaics, LEDs, resistive memory, and perovskite-related optoelectronics will also find this book indispensable for their research endeavors. Additionally, general readers with an interest in halide perovskite and its applications will find this book a valuable resource for gaining knowledge in this field.
