Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Perovskite optoelectronics make up one of the most exhilarating directions in research today, and multidisciplinary collaborations are having an impact on energy technology. The perovskite-related topics are rapidly becoming a new paradigm in diverse applications, such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, quantum dots and other optoelectronic devices. The fundament physics and chemistry of perovskite materials are the key factors leading to successful commercialization. The topics covered here include materials synthesis, characterization and engineering, interface characterization and energy band engineering, solar cell device improvements, light-emitting diodes and photodetectors fabrication, discussions in crystals stability. In particular, we are interested in manuscripts detailing new solutions to improve the stability of different types of perovskites crystals compatible with established technologies.

Pyrochlore titanate (Y2Ti2O7) is a promising material for a wide range of applications in optoelectronics and photocatalysis due to its advantageous chemical, mechanical, and optical properties. To enhance its potential for such uses, however, a high-quality and scalable synthesis method is required. We here investigate the crystallization of sol–gel produced Y2Ti2O7 layers. We observe a transition of the amorphous pyrochlore phase at annealing temperatures below 700 °C. The transmittances of the Y2Ti2O7 thin layers annealed at 400 to 700 °C are approximately 92.3%. The refractive indices and packing densities of Y2Ti2O7 thin layers annealed at 400–700 °C/1 h vary from 1.931 to 1.954 and 0.835 to 0.846, respectively. The optical bandgap energies of Y2Ti2O7 thin layers annealed at 400–700 °C/1 h reduce from 4.356 to 4.319 eV because of the Moss–Burstein effect. These good electronic and optical properties make Y2Ti2O7 thin layers a promising host material for many potential applications. Full article

Perovskite solar cells were fabricated with SnO2 thin films as a window layer and electron transport layer by thermal evaporation. Fundamental characteristics of SnO2 thin films to determine the performance of solar cells were investigated in an optical and electrical manner, varying annealing temperatures. It is found the crystallinity and the presence of localized energy states play a key factor to control the properties of SnO2. In addition, XPS was used to confirm the stoichiometry of the SnO2 thin films, indicating a better charge collection on the annealed SnO2 samples. The SnO2 thin films annealed at 300 °C exhibited desirable optical and electrical properties for the enhanced performance of solar cells. The results show that thermally evaporated SnO2 thin films can be precisely engineered and controlled for mass production and more practical industrialization of perovskite solar cells. Full article
