Low-dimensional luminescent materials including halide perovskites and colloidal quantum dots are crucial for various upcoming applications such as hyper-realistic displays, augmented reality glasses, autonomous vehicles, optical quantum communications, electrically pumped lasing, hyperspectral imaging, and other emerging optoelectronic applications. Recent research in this area is currently focusing on developing high-efficiency, stable materials, and devices, as well as developing environmentally friendly alternatives and understanding the fundamental photophysics behind them.

This symposium aims to discuss cutting-edge research ideas and achievements that would contribute to material innovation in metal halide perovskites, colloidal quantum dots, nanoplatelets, and other low-dimensional nanostructures. The proposed symposium will cover a complete range of topics regarding emerging luminescent low-dimensional materials from fundamental chemistry and physics to related practical applications. The discussion in the proposed symposium will comprehensively encompass precise material synthesis, defect passivation strategies, photophysical analysis, thin-film processing and patterning, and optoelectronic devices including light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. Since many of these topics are interrelated, the symposium provides a valuable opportunity for participants to exchange views on state-of-the-art accomplishments and generate insights for future innovative research.

Topics will include:

• Quasi-2D perovskites and other low-dimensional perovskite structures
• Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals
• Colloidal inorganic quantum dots, nanoplatelets, and other low-dimensional nanostructures
• Lead-free perovskite and perovskite-derivative emitters
• Novel synthetic routes and growth mechanisms of emitters
• Fundamental photophysics of emitters
• Defect passivation strategies
• Interfacial engineering for light-emitting diodes and other optoelectronic devices
• Degradation mechanism of emitters and their devices
• Novel patterning methods
• Down/Up-conversion emitters, films, and display/lighting devices
• Optically or electrically pumped lasing from low-dimensional emitters
• Chiral luminescent materials
• Infrared-emitting materials and devices
