Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite semiconductors or semiconductor Quantum Dots (quantum confinement in 3D), or Quantum Rods or Wires (quantum confinement in 2D), offer a tremendous potential for the development of a new generation of optoelectronic devices with enhanced properties. The group focuses its research on the development of advanced hybrid and nanostructured materials, such as halide perovskites and colloidal quantum dots, in order to take advantage of their properties in optoelectronic devices. Special emphasis is placed on synthesis of materials for the preparation of photovoltaic devices and LEDs, and also for light amplifiers and lasers; study of new semiconductor materials or nanostructured configurations; systematic structural, electrical and optical characterisation of material devices; identify the different physical processes responsible for its final performance. Specific lines of research:
