HSustainable perovskites: from advanced processing to emerging applications
The rapidly expanding field of perovskite materials now enables applications that go well beyond conventional photovoltaics and optoelectronics. Their compositional tunability and facile processing open new opportunities for sustainable, multifunctional technologies in energy harvesting, light emission, and sensing by advances in materials design and AI-assisted innovation.
Scope:
Metal–halide perovskites have revolutionised optoelectronics, driving remarkable advances in photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, radiation sensors and related technologies. Having achieved record-breaking efficiencies and approaching industrial deployment with high technology readiness levels (TRLs), the field is now entering a new frontier that extends well beyond conventional optoelectronic applications toward sustainable, multifunctional devices.
Emerging devices are extending the impact of perovskites to a broader range of applications, including imaging, sensing, and lighting, neuromorphic electronics, low-intensity energy harvesting, high-energy photon detection in harsh environments, medical and plasma diagnostics.
Sustainability is reshaping the perovskite research landscape. Current efforts are increasingly directed toward lead-free and earth-abundant materials, recycle-reuse of materials and devices, green manufacturing routes, environmental impact mitigation strategies and durable device architectures. Complementing these developments, AI-assisted materials discovery and predictive modeling are accelerating the rational design of resilient, high-performance perovskite systems, paving the way for sustainable and scalable technological solutions.
This symposium will explore the next horizons of sustainable perovskite optoelectronics, connecting advances in materials chemistry, device physics, and data-driven innovation to enable real-world applications beyond conventional solar energy conversion. Emphasis will be placed on Agrivoltaics, indoor and low-light energy harvesting, high-energy photon detection and self-powered IoT platforms. The symposium will also address low-dimensional and nanostructured perovskites, novel compositions, and durable architectures defining the next generation of perovskite optoelectronics.
