Description

The research program is embedded within the ERCConsolidator Grant project ELOWDI and focuses on thedevelopment and engineering of advanced wide-bandgap hybrid perovskite materials. The activity aims to design and optimize 2D/3D perovskite single crystals and heterostructures, with particular attention to lead-free compositions, to achieve improved stability, scalability, and optoelectronic performance.The work includes the synthesis of high-quality materials and their comprehensive physicochemical characterization, both insingle-crystal and thin-film form. The ultimate goal is to enable their integration into efficient and stable next-generation photovoltaic devices and related optoelectronic applications.
