Over the last decade, halide perovskites have undoubtedly become one of the most promising materials or set of materials for a plethora of optoelectronic applications. However most synthetic and thin film deposition and growth approaches currently employed are difficult to upscale.
In this talk I will discuss some simple and upscalable methods for halide perovskites:
In the first part, I will present solvent-free mechanochemical grinding by ball-milling as a way to obtain high-purity perovskite bulk and nano powders on a gram scale in a short time. Moreover I will show how thermal vacuum deposition allows for the transformation of this bulk powders into high quality thin films with excellent optoelectronic properties in a completely solvent-free approach.
In the second part of the talk, I will discuss a simple spray-coating deposition method based on commercial and cost-effective airbrush technology. This methodology employs pre-synthesized colloidal nanoinks formed by room-temperature, short-ligand-assisted reprecipitation route. Eventually, spray-coated films are employed in proof-of-concept photodetectors with significant responsivity.
