Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metal chalcogenide and metal halide perovskite crystals have leads to breakthrough in many device applications and they are popular in the fields of photovoltaics, photoconductivity, optoelectronics, transistors, and thermoelectric due to their high efficiencies. For the past two decades, the interests even continue towards thin films, nanowires, monolayers, and quantum dots as they may have better optical, electrical, and magnetic properties compared to the bulk ones. However, the sensing and detection using those two crystals are recently becoming trends as they can become strong platforms for photodetectors, resonance biosensors, and even high-energy radiation detectors.    

This Special Issue focuses on the most recent advances in the field of sensing and detection applications using metal chalcogenide and metal halide perovskite crystals from theory, simulation to experimental demonstration. Topics will include but are not limited to development of advanced sensors and detectors ranging from microwave, infrared, visible, and even high-energy radiation, such as X- and gamma-ray. Potential novel sensing and detection applications in biomedical engineering, imaging, security, and telecommunication are also welcome.

In this study, we report the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles from Zn dross via hydrometallurgical method by using acetic acid as a leaching agent. D205 dye molecules were then adsorbed onto Zn dross originated ZnO nanoparticle film. The optical absorption confirms the photosensitization of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles with dye. The photoluminescence spectra reveal the excitonic- and defect-related emission of ZnO nanoparticles. Compared to ZnO nanoparticles only, the longer emission lifetime of ZnO nanoparticles with adsorbed dye indicates the transfer of photoexcited electrons from dye to the ZnO nanoparticles. Furthermore, photodetection characterization of ZnO film show the enhanced current density with the presence of dye under simulated solar illumination, while that measured at dark is similar in both films with and without dye. This result confirms the potentiality of Zn dross to be recycled into valuable ZnO nanoparticles particularly for the applications in the visible light region, especially for sensing. Full article

Abstract
We show the increase of the photoluminescence intensity ratio (PLR) and the emission rate enhancement of perovskite cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) and formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3) nanocrystals (NCs) in the presence of single and double gold layer cavities, which [...] Read more.
We show the increase of the photoluminescence intensity ratio (PLR) and the emission rate enhancement of perovskite cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) and formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3) nanocrystals (NCs) in the presence of single and double gold layer cavities, which we refer to as Metal-Emitter (ME) and Metal-Emitter-Metal (MEM) nanostructures. Up to 1.9-fold PLRs and up to 5.4-fold emission rate enhancements were obtained for FAPbBr3 NCs confined by double gold layers, which are attributed to plasmonic confinement from the gold layers. The experimentally obtained values are validated by analytical calculations and electromagnetic simulations. Such an effective method of manipulation of the spontaneous emission by simple plasmonic nanostructures can be utilized in sensing and detection applications. Full article
