Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HPs) have emerged as a frontrunner in the field of semiconductor technology. Their easy and low-cost production together with their unique optoelectronic properties make them promising materials, for a multitude of applications including light-emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, scintillators, field-effect transistors and photovoltaics (PVs). However, many challenges related to their stability in prolonged environmental exposure (moisture, oxygen, irradiation) need to be addressed for their implementation in the real world.
The results generated within SHINE will afford to a significant advancement in understanding both fundamental structures and dynamic processes in LDHPs and their correlations to physicochemical properties and performances. This will have a significant scientific impact, guiding the rational design of more efficient and stable LDHPs. Further, SHINE is contributing in neutralizing the environmental impact of the perovskite-based materials by increasing the life-time of Pb-based HPs and also utilizing benign metals (e.g. Sn or Ge), and more sustainable fluorine-based water-repellent agents, paving “greener” pathways for fabrication of HP-based devices.
