The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Trustees of Dartmouth College $450,000 on October 15, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to advance metal halide perovskite materials for electronic and photonic devices including photodetectors, imaging systems, radiation sensors, solar cells, displays, and flexible electronics. The project examines how the physical properties of perovskite inks—viscosity, wetting, and drying behavior—control film formation, crystallization, and heterogeneity across patterned features. The work connects ink physics to device performance, identifying how microscale variations in film thickness, composition, morphology, and defects influence photodetection, imaging uniformity, and degradation. Current microfabrication approaches cannot produce microscale patterns containing multiple perovskite compositions while preserving distinct properties; mutual solubility and processing sensitivity create composition, structure, and defect variations that limit device reliability. The project will develop materials-design and patterning strategies to improve perovskite film control and reduce device variability and instability, including spatially targeted ultrathin protective layers to reduce defects in selected regions. Performance occurs in Hanover, New Hampshire, with a period of performance from October 15, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
