Dr. Atikur Rahman's research group at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune has devised a unique method for growing CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets — tiny crystals that make up perovskite materials in which cesium is used to stabilize lead halide minerals like bromine even when they are very small. In addition, the crystals can be used in light-detecting devices and electrical components such as solar panels or LEDs. The results of their study, which raise important interest concerning the potential benefits technology could offer were put in print and featured by Advanced Materials.
CsPbBr3, The Novel Material For Light-sensitive Devices
- Material causes light to interact with it, making it ideal for solar cells and LEDs (Perovskites CS2BR3ungeons Light In New Way)
- It can withstand high temperatures and remain stable making it be used in a wide range of applications without degradation.
- Growing large and high quality CsPbBr3 crystals with ferroelectric properties, which simultaneously possess low dark current is a challenging tasks for researchers.
- Scientists also found a new way to synthesize cesium lead iodide crystals named solvothermally which resulted in higher quality and more ease of crystal formation.
- CsPbBr3 is ferroelectric, meaning it can hold and switch its electric polarization back and forth over repeated measurements essential for a wide range of modern technological applications.
- CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets are a halide perovskite material with bright light emis-sion and have potential application on various light-emitting devices.
- They are simple prepared in solution form, providing the ability to homogeneously size and shaped particles.
- Uses: Light-emitting devices, solar cells for increasing efficiency
