Description

A unique and timely book that gives a broader view of synthesis, structures, physical properties and applications of all known hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites materials

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have attracted substantial interest in the past decade due to their chemical variability, structural diversity and abundant physical properties. HOIPs encompass other important families, such as formates, azides, dicyanamides, cyanides and hypophosphites. These HOIP materials not only have the ABX3 structural architecture but also show the presence of organic amine cations and their associated physical properties. These features lead to some remarkable behaviour, especially in the domain of phase transitions.

Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites summarizes the chemical variability and structural diversity of all known hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites subclasses including halides, azides, formates, dicyanamides, cyanides hypophosphites, dicyanometallates and metal-free perovskites. It also presents a comprehensive account of their intriguing physical properties, including photovoltaic and optoelectronic properties, dielectricity, magnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and multiferroicity. Moreover, the current challenges and future opportunities in this exciting field have also been discussed. Such a timely book will definitely show the readers a complete landscape of hybrid organic-inorganic pervoskites and associated multifuctionalities.

  • Hot Topic: hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite is hot topic for its diverse structures, properties and applications.
  • Comprehensive: this book consists of comprehensive and profound coverage of all aspects of hybrid perovskites.
  • Highly needed: it is highly needed for new functional materials areas.
  • World leading experts: Prof. Wei Li, Dr. Alessandro Stroppa, Prof. Zhe-Ming Wang and Prof. Song Gao are world class leaders in this field, and have published many insightful and high-impact works.

Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites is a valuable resource for inorganic chemists, materials scientists, solid state chemists, as well as physicists and engineering scientists.
