Currently, photodetectors are being extensively studied and developed for next-generation applications, such as in autonomous vehicles and image sensors. In this regard, all-inorganic metal halide perovskite (CsPbX₃; X = Cl, Br, and I) nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as promising building blocks for various applications owing to their high absorption coefficients, tunable bandgaps, high defect tolerances, and solution processability. These features, which are typically required for the development of advanced optoelectronics, can be engineered by modifying the chemical compositions and surface chemistry of the NCs. Herein, we briefly review various strategies adopted for the application of CsPbX₃ perovskite NCs in photodetectors and for improving device performance. First, modifications of the chemical compositions of CsPbX₃ NCs to tune their optical bandgaps and improve the charge-transport mechanism are discussed. Second, the application of surface chemistry to improve oxidation resistance and carrier mobility is described. In the future, perovskite NCs with prospective features, such as non-toxicity and high resistance to external stimuli, are expected to be developed for practical applications.

$TiO_2/CH_3NH_3Pb_{1-x}Sb_xI_{3-3x}Br_{3x}-based$ photovoltaic devices were fabricated by a spin-coating method using mixture solutions with $SbBr_3$. Effects of $SbBr3$, CsI or RbBr addition to $CH_3NH_3PbI_3$ precursor solutions on the photovoltaic properties where investigated. The short-circuit current densities and photoconversion efficiencies were improved by adding a small amount of $SbBr_3$, CsI or RbBr to the perovskite phase, which would be due to the doping effect of Sb, Br and Cs/Rb atom at the Pb, I and $CH_3NH3$ sites, respectively.

In this work, narrow-band green-emitting CsPbBr3 particles are embedded in commercialized glass composites by a facile dry process. By optimizing the method through sintering in glass frit (GF) composites including CsBr and PbBr2, used as precursors, the encapsulation of CsPbBr3 particles made them waterproof with green fluorescence. To improve the fluorescent properties by reducing aggregation of CsPbBr3, fumed silica (FS) is additionally used to help particles avoid bulking up in the glass matrix. The CsPbBr3 perovskite/glass composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) maps, which support the existence of CsPbBr3 particles in the glass matrix. The photoluminescence (PL) properties demonstrate that the emission spectrum peak, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) values are 519 nm, 17 nm, and 17.7 %. We also confirm the water-resistant properties. To enhance water/moisture stability, the composite sample is put directly into water, with its PLQY monitored periodically under UV light.

Cesium lead halide ($CsPbX_3$) nanocrystals have emerged as a new family of semiconductor nanomaterials that can outperform existing semiconductor nanocrystals owing to their superb optical and charge transport properties. Although these materials are expected to have many superior properties, control of the quantum confinement and isoelectronic magnetic doping, which can greatly enhance their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, has faced significant challenges. These obstacles have hindered full utilization of the benefits that can be obtained by using $CsPbX_3$ nanocrystals exhibiting strong quantum confinement or coupling between exciton and magnetic dopants, which have been extensively explored in many other semiconductor quantum dots. Here, we review progress made during the past several years in tackling the issues of introducing controllable quantum confinement and doping of $Mn^{2+}$ ions as the prototypical magnetic dopant in colloidal $CsPbX_3$ nanocrystals.

An angular dependence experiment was made and a performance test of the Teledyne dosimetry system was done in accordance with the ANSI N13.11-1992. The angular dependence experiment was performed with $^{137}Cs$ and low energy X-ray beam. Teledyne dosimetry system performed well at the $0^{\circ}$ angle of incidence for all dosimeters in both vertical and horizontal irradiations. It would have easily passed the 0.5 tolerance limit. But the dosimetry system was not performed well at the ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ angle of incidence for low energy X-ray beam. The accuracy for $^{137}Cs$ beam at all angles of incidence was within the 0.5 tolerance limit. Therefore performance of the dosimetry system could be considered acceptable in case that the dosimeter is irradiated to $^{137}Cs$ beam. However, it could not be acceptable for the dosimeter irradiated to low energy X-ray, especially at more than ${\pm}40^{\circ}$

Halide perovskite nanocrystals have become attractive for LED applications due to their high color purity and excellent luminescent properties. $CsPbX_3$ (X = I, Br, and Cl) nanocrystals were synthesized by hot-injection method and the emission wavelength was controlled by changing the composition of halide ion. Green- and red-emitting films were fabricated using a polymer binder. The outstanding optical properties of the synthesized nanocrystals and fabricated films were confirmed. The wLED designed by green- and red-emitting perovskite nanocrystal films on blue InGaN LED was characterized.

Recently perovskite materials with much cheaper cost and marvellous optoelectronic properties have been studied for next generation LED display devices overseas. Technology development trends of inorganic $CsPbX_3$(X=halogen) based LEDs (PeLEDs) with assumed high stability were investigated on literature worldwide. It was found that syntheses methods of these nanocrystals (NCs, mainly quantum dots, QDs) made great progress. A new room temperature synthesis method showed outstanding PL (photoluminescence) properties such as high quantum yield (QY), narrow emission width, storage stability comparable with, or often exceeding those of conventional hot injection method and CdSe@ZnS type inorganic colloidal QDs. PeLEDs with shell layers might be more promising, indicating urgent real research start of this solution processing technology for small businesses in Korea.

A solid state chemical approach to discover new mateials with enhanced thermoelectric properties is described. The aim is to construct three-dimensional bismuth chalcogenide framework structures which contain tonically interacting alkali or alkaline earth atoms. The alkali atoms tend to have soft "rattling" type phonon modes which result in very low thermal conductivity in these materials. Another desirable feature in this class of compounds is the low crystal symmetry and narrow band-gaps. Several promising materials such as BaBiTe3, KBi6.33S10, K2Bi8S13, β-K2Bi8Se13, K2.5Bi8.5Se14, Ba4Bi6Se13, Eu2Pb2Bi6Se13, Al1+xPb4-2xSb7+xSe15 (A=K, Rb), and CsBi4Te6 are described.

This study aimed to fundamentally understand changes of cell parameters of cation-exchanged mordenites using high resolution X-ray powder diffraction for studies that immobilization of various heavy metal cation using synthesis mordenite (Na_6.6Al_6.6Si_41.4O₉₆·20.4H₂O, Na-MOR). As a results of measurement by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was confirmed that 19.4, 20.4 water molecules per unit cell were present in monovalent-cation substituted MOR (Cs-MOR, Na-MOR), and 21, 23.1, 23.2 water molecules per unit cell were present in divalent-cation substituted MOR (Pb-MOR, Sr-MOR, Cd-MOR). The space group of all the samples were identified as Cmcm belonging to the orthorhombic crystal system. Compared to Na-MOR, starting material, relative peak intensity of (110) and (200) is significantly changed after cation substitution whereas peak position is almost similar. Also, (220) peak that was not found in Na-MOR was clearly observed in Pb-, Cd- and Sr-exchanged MOR. Thus, it was estimated that changes of atomic distribution usually occurred on ab-plane while changes of cell parameters were little. Detailed changes in the cell parameters of cation-exchanged mordenites were derived from whole profile fitting method using the GSAS suite program. Changes in the axial lengths and unit cell volume of cation substitution showed different relationship depending on ionic radius and charge number. In case of monovalent-cation substituted MOR, the length of a-axis increases whereas the length of b- and c-axis decrease by absorbed cation radius. In the case of divalent-cation exchanged MOR, the length of a-axis usually decreases while the length of b- and c-axis increases by cation radius. It was confirmed that unit cell volume of monovalent and divalent cation substituted MORs had an independent tendency by cation radius.

반도체 기반 양자점 (QD)소재와 CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I)기반 perovskite 양자점 또는 나노결정 소재(PNC)는 매우 우수한 양자효율과 좁은 발광 선폭으로 고색재현성 디스플레이 색변환 소재 또는 발광 소재로서 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나, 기존 화학적 합성법을 통해 제조되는 QD 및 PNC 소재는 취약한 열 및 화학적 안정성으로 인해 장기 내구성의 개선이 요구된다. 이들 QD 및 PNC 소재는 모두 완전 무기 소재인 산화물 기반 유리 소재내에 생성이 가능하며, 이를 통해 장기 내구성을 근본적으로 개선할 수 있다. 반도체 기반 QD 함유 유리소재 (QDEG)의 경우, 유리 내 core/shell 구조를 가진 QD의 생성으로 양자효율의 향상이 가능했으나, 콜로이드 기반 양자점 (cQD)과 달리 다중 shell의 형성이 어려워 양자효율이 제한되고, 발광 선폭이 넓어 고색재현성 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로 적용되기에는 아직 한계가 있다. 한편, Perovskite 양자점 (또는 나노결정) 함유 유리소재 (PNEG) 소재는 QDEG과 달리 콜로이드 기반의 PNC (c-PNC)가 가지는 우수한 양자효율과 20 nm 수준의 좁은 선폭을 유리 내에서도 가지며, c-PNC 대비 열적, 화학적 및 광학적 안정성이 획기적으로 향상되어 실질적인 응용 가능성을 높이고 있다. 특히, 일반적인 용융-급랭법으로 제조하여 대량생산에 용이하고, 분말 또는 판상 등 다양한 형태로의 제작이 가능한 장점이 있다. 현재까지 제조된 PNEG의 최대 PL-QY는 450 nm 여기 시 녹색 및 적색에서 약 60% 수준이며, Al₂O₃ 분말을 이용할 경우 최대 80% 수준까지 달성이 가능하다. 또한, PNEG과 blue LED를 이용하여 백색 LED를 구현할 경우 color filter를 적용하지 않을 때, NTSC 대비 최대 약 130 % 수준의 높은 색재현 영역을 보여 주고 있으며, 실제 LCD용 BLU로 적용 시 기존 상용 c-QD 소재와 동등 이상의 색재현 영역을 보이고 있어, 실질적인 응용 가능성이 매우 높음을 확인하였다. PNEG의 상업적인 응용을 위해서는 몇 가지 추가적인 연구 개발이 필요하다. 기존 c-QD 또는 c-PNC는 나노 수준 크기의 입자가 액상에 분산된 형태로 입도 제어가 용이하나, PNEG의 경우 분말 제조 시 유리 형성 후 분쇄를 통해 제조되며, 입도가 대개 수십 ㎛ 이하로 작아질 경우 PL-QY가 저하되어, 향후 잉크젯 공정 응용을 위해서는 고효율의 분말 제조공정 개발이 필요하다. 또한, 유리 소재의 경우 절연체로서 기존 QD 소재 대비 electro-luminescence(EL) 소자의 활성층으로 사용하는데 제약이 있어 PNEG을 이용한 EL 소자 제작에 대한 연구도 필요하다. 마지막으로, 기존 c-PNC 소재와 같이 Pb가 함유되지 않은 PNEG 소재의 개발이 선결되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 해결 과제들에도 불구하고, PNEG 소재는 기존 c-QD 소재 대비 매우 우수한 안정성을 기반으로 고품위 고색재현 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로서 다양한 응용에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
