The National Science Foundation awarded a $397,209 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System through the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a mechanistic understanding of oriented attachment crystallization processes for lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals. Over a three-year period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025, the University of Missouri will conduct research to control defects, morphology, and dimensionality during the oriented attachment of lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals. The research team will develop mechanistic models of interaction forces and torques between non-spherical perovskite nanoparticles to investigate crystallization mechanisms. A population balance model incorporating the nanocrystal interaction model will predict time-evolution of assembled crystal characteristics. The research aims to optimize stability and quantum yield for applications in optoelectronics such as LEDs, lasers, solar cells, and displays.
