About this Research Topic
Semiconductor materials and related optoelectronic devices have been developed over a century since the first report of the Fleming valves. Currently, semiconductors have been used in a wide variety of applications and greatly impact people's lives. Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites, as emerging semiconductors in recent years, have drawn much attention due to their exceptional optoelectrical properties and multi-functional applications in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, thin-film transistors, etc. However, lead-based perovskites still face two challenges, i.e., instability and high toxicity. It is therefore important to develop stable novel lead-free perovskite semiconductor materials and study the optical and electrical properties of the materials to maximize the performance of the optoelectronic devices and promote the development of the lead-free perovskite research field.
The goals of this Research Topic are to develop novel lead-free perovskite or perovskite derivative semiconductors, understand their fundamental structural, optical, and electronic properties, elucidate the relations between the material properties and the optoelectronic performance of advanced devices, and inspire the future development of the lead-free perovskite research field.
The scope of the Research Topic includes all lead-free perovskite or perovskite derivative semiconductor materials and related optoelectronic applications such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photo/X-ray detectors, and thin-film transistors. Areas to be covered in this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:
• Design, synthesis, and characterization of novel lead-free perovskite or perovskite derivative materials.
• Theoretical calculation of lead-free perovskite materials and devices.
• New applications of lead-free perovskite materials.
• Optimization of the device performance and investigation of the mechanism.
• Understanding of the relations between the material property and the optoelectronic device performance.
