Kookmin University team develops perovskite quantum dot synthesis technology in collaborative study

A Kookmin University research team has developed a technology for the scalable synthesis of highly uniform perovskite quantum dots in collaboration with researchers from other institutions including the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST).

Kookmin University said Tuesday that Kim Jae-hyuck, a master’s student in the university’s department of chemistry, played a key role in the study as a co-first author.

Kim is a member of the university’s research team, led by chemistry professor Kim Young-hoon.

His team collaborated with another Kookmin University research team led by chemistry professor Kim Hyung-min and a DGIST team led by energy science and engineering professor Choi Jong-min.

The findings were published on July 3 in the international journal ACS Energy Letters under the title, “Precursor Diffusion-Controlled Scalable Synthesis of Monodisperse Iodide Perovskite Quantum Dots for Photovoltaics.” The journal is published by the American Chemical Society.

The paper was co-first authored by Kim Jae-hyuck and Dr.
