Description: Low-Dimensional Halide Perovskites: Structure, Properties and Applications provides an in-depth look at halide perovskite materials and their applications. Chapters cover history, fundamentals, physiochemical and optoelectronic properties, synthesis and characterization of traditional and Pb-free halide perovskites. The book concludes with sections describing the different applications of halide perovskites for solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photo detectors, as well as the challenges faced in the industrialization of halide perovskite-based devices and forward-thinking prospects for further deployment.
Brief description: Paola Vivo is an Associate Professor at Tampere University (TAU), Finland. After pursuing her Ph.D. in Chemistry with distinction, she received the Academy of Finland Fellowship for postdoctoral research in 2013‒2017. She currently leads the Hybrid Solar Cells research team at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at TAU. Her research interests include developing novel organic materials and hybrid organic-inorganic systems for third generation solar cells, with current emphasis on lead-free halide perovskites in bulk and nanocrystals.
