Perovskite Nanocrystal Latest News

Recently, researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) in Bengaluru have developed an innovative method to minimize anion migration in CsPbX₃ perovskite nanocrystals.

About Perovskite Nanocrystal

  • It is a material that has the same crystal structure as the mineral calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3).
  • Generally, perovskite compounds have a chemical formula ABX3, where ‘A’ and ‘B’ represent cations, and X is an anion that bonds to both.
  • A large number of different elements can be combined together to form perovskite structures.
  • Due to its compositional flexibility, scientists can design perovskite crystals to have a wide variety of physical, optical, and electrical characteristics from insulating, semiconducting, metallic, and superconducting characteristics.

 Applications of Perovskite Nanocrystal

  • They have applications in various fields of optoelectronics, including photovoltaic solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting devices, etc.
  • Perovskite LEDs, which combine the advantages of OLEDs and QLEDs, have long been considered a promising technology for next-generation lighting.

Perovskite Nanocrystal FAQs

Q1: What are the applications of perovskite crystal structure?

Ans: Probably the dominant applications of perovskites are in microelectronics and telecommunications,

Q2: What are the four nano materials?

Ans: There are four main types of intentionally produced nanomaterials: carbon-based, metal-based, dendrimers, and nanocomposites

Q3: What is the difference between single crystal and nanocrystal?

Ans: A nano-crystal composed of poly-crystal or a single crystal. A single crystal has no grain boundary and a nano-crystal has grain or no grain boundary.
