Perovskite Photodetectors for Imaging and Computing

Submission status

Submission deadline

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.

Perovskites with tunable bandgap have emerged as a class of promising materials to detect photons spanning from ionizing radiation to infrared spectral range. While perovskites with different dimensionalities have been developed for photodetection at different wavelengths, upscaling, stability, and integration of perovskite photoactive layers with readout integrated circuits remain major technical hurdles to be surmounted before the materials can be put into production.

In this collection at Nature Communications, Communications Materials, Communications Engineering, and Scientific Reports, we aim to bring together cutting-edge direct perovskite photodetectors, indirect perovskite scintillators, and advanced applications for imaging and computing crossing multidisciplinary areas, and to invite commentaries from experts. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  • Materials and device architecture designs for perovskite photodetectors
  • Polarization sensitive/multi-band sensitive photodetectors
  • Scintillators for ionizing radiation
  • Large-array imaging
  • In-sensor computing
  • Upscaling and manufacturing

We welcome the submissions of primary research that fall into any of the above-mentioned categories. All the submissions will be subject to the same peer review process and editorial standard as regular Nature Communications, Communications Materials, Communications Engineering, and Scientific Reports articles.

Illustration of perovskite quantum dot technology. Quantum dots are semiconducting nanocrystals with adjustable properties. They can absorb and emit various wavelengths of light within the visible spectrum. Quantum dots which are based on perovskite materials exhibit excellent photoluminescence quantum yields and high color purity. They show great promise for use in displays, UV sensors and lighting devices
