Better 2D Perovskite Crystals: A Quantum Leap

• Discover how a breakthrough process using kinetic temperature and duration control produces ultra-pure 2D Perovskite crystals with ideal quantum well thickness. Unlock the potential of optoelectronic and photovoltaic technologies with higher n-values and cost-effective materials.

Researchers have developed a new method for synthesizing 2D perovskite crystals with ideal quantum well thickness and purity. The process, known as kinetically controlled space confinement, involves controlling the temperature and duration of the crystallization process, and results in crystals with higher n values and phase-pure synthesis. The breakthrough could pave the way for the use of 2D perovskites in emerging technologies like optoelectronics and photovoltaics, and create a more stable and cost-effective material for these applications. The researchers have also developed a map of the process through characterization, optical spectroscopy and machine learning.
