Abstract
The emergence of plasmonic nanoparticles in organic and perovskite optoelectronics has evolved beyond its role as a mere light emission and absorption enhancer, by delving into the exotic properties of semiconductor thin films. These properties include stimulated emission (lasing), coherent emission (superradiance), reversible spontaneous emission, and spontaneous synchronization leading to coherent emission. Despite the wealth of available fundamental knowledge, the commercialization of plasmonic nanoparticles in organic and perovskite optoelectronics such as light emitting diodes, photovoltaics and photodetectors, has yet to reach fruition. This paper reviews the technical challenges acting as barriers to commercialization and highlights how their solutions are influenced by economic, sustainability, and regulatory hurdles. A focused examination of technological challenges, including deposition, material compatibility, scalability, and reproducibility of the device performance, is presented. This perspective article concludes by proposing potential solutions and offering a future outlook for the field, emphasizing sustainability, the circular economy, and responsible electronics, alongside the continued advancement of fundamental knowledge.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications.
The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms.
Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC).
Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
