Perovskite Materials and Devices, 2 Volumes

A comprehensive overview of the important scientific and technological advances in commercialization of this important mineral

Perovskite has held much interest for scientists and industrialists, as the mineral is abundantly available in nature. Due to the intriguing and unusual physical properties of perovskite materials—the high-absorption coefficient, low exciton-binding energy, and high dielectric constant, for example—there has been substantial focus on perovskite’s potential in applications. In particular, they have been of great use in sensors and catalyst electrodes, certain types of fuel cells, solar cells, lasers, memory devices, and spintronics, and as a result hold exciting opportunities for physicists, chemists, and material scientists alike.

Perovskite Materials and Devices comprehensively covers all the milestone work in perovskites research, systematically introducing the properties, methods, and technologies associated with the mineral from fundamentals to promising applications to commercialization issues. The book focuses on traditional and novel electronic operations, such as solar cells, LEDs, lasing, photodetectors, X-ray detectors, transistors, and more. It also investigates ways to make the use of such materials more environmentally friendly, which in turn can make perovskite minerals more commercially viable.
