Symposium EL17-Halide Perovskite and Other Low-Dimensional Light Emitters—Synthesis, Defect Passivation and Optoelectronic Applications

Light-emitting nanomaterials are key components for future applications such as near-eye displays (augmented/virtual reality), autonomous vehicles, laser diodes, quantum communications, wearable smart healthcare devices, biosensors, and other optoelectronic applications. With these possibilities, recent research in the field of light-emitting nanomaterials has mainly focused on achieving high-efficiency, high-stability materials and devices, as well as developing alternative environmentally benign light-emitting materials.

This symposium will cover various emerging low-dimensional light-emitting materials, including metal halide perovskites and their derivatives, inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals, carbon dots, graphene quantum dots, and other low-dimensional nanostructures. The discussion in the proposed symposium will comprehensively encompass precise material synthesis, surface defect passivation, thin-film processing, device interface engineering, and in-depth photophysical/electrical characterization to achieve high-performance optoelectronic devices. Therefore, the proposed symposium will cover a complete range of topics regarding emerging light-emitting low-dimensional materials from fundamental chemistry and physics to related practical applications.
