Research Overview

The main aim of our group is to exploit advanced semiconductor materials as halide perovskite or quantum confined semiconductors (quantum dots, rods, plateletes…), which offer a tremendous potential for the development of a new generation of optoelectronic devices with enhanced properties. The team has a broad expertiese on the synthesis and development of the above mentioned advanced hybrid and nanostructured materials, especially used in optoelectronic devices, like photovoltaic devices, LEDs, or lasers and photocatalytic systems. Beyond material and device fabrication, our team also works on the characterization and modelling of these systems. Moreover, our team is at the forefront of the sustainable energy research by delivering a wide range of materials and methodologies that make our reserach more efficient and help to meet our sustainability-related goals.

Group's research interests

  • Study of new semiconductor materials or nanostructured configurations as thin films, 2D, 1D, 0D structures, Perovskites and Hybrid semiconductors, Organic semiconductors, Colloidal Quantum Dots, including Pb-free materials.

  • Study of crystal growth of single crystals, thin films and nanostructured semiconductors as well as of the physical processes responsible for its final performance by a systematic structural, electrical and optical characterisation of the bare materials a

  • Fabrication of optoelectronic devices: Photovoltaic Systems; Light emitting systems (LEDs, laser, optical amplifiers); Photodetectors; Sensors; Modulators; Semitransparent Devices.

  • Different types of small and large-area optoelectronic devices, including perovskite solar cells and modules, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) arrays, and various scalable deposition methods.
