About This Webinar
The Joint Chemical Engineering Committee (JCEC) Queensland welcomes you for this hybrid event on Hybrid Perovskite Quantum Dots.

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have the advantages of quantum confinement effect, defect-tolerant nature, and the capability of developing lightweight and flexible films, thus attracting much recent research for a variety of functional device developments including QD solar cells and LEDs. Here we report our recent progress on a novel surface ligand engineering strategy in designing new hybrid perovskite QDs, which leads to not only fundamental understanding on the optoelectronic working mechanism of the QDs, but also remarkably improve the optoelectronic quality of the perovskite QDs.

The new classes of perovskite quantum dots have been used as building blocks in Quantum Dot Solar Cells with a certified world record efficiency of 16.6% with excellent long-term operation stability. By using QDs as light absorbing materials, the QD based photocatalysts also exhibited good performance in photocatalytic gaseous hydrogen production.

The integration of perovskite solar cells and rechargeable batteries have led to a single module type rechargeable solar batteries with an overall storable solar energy conversion efficiency of >12%.

Professor Dmitri Golberg
Professor at QUT (Queensland University of Technology) Co-Director, QUT Centre for Materials Science
Dmitri is a Professor of QUT and an Australian Laureate Fellow. He joined QUT in 2017 after more than 20 years of his career development in Japan, at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba. He is one of the world-top experts in inorganic nanomaterial synthesis and analysis using methods of analytical and in situ transmission electron microscopy. He has consecutively been named by the Web of Science (2014-2020) as the world-highly cited researcher (top 1%). In 2019 “The Australian” edition named him as one of the top-5 materials scientists working in Australia.

He has published over 700 per-reviewed original papers which yielded more than 55,000 citations; he also possesses one of the highest Hirsch factors (h-129: Google Scholar, h-118: Scopus, as of July 2021) among all Australian scientists.

During >30 years he has trained more than 65 international post-doctors who became the backbones of Universities and Institutes worldwide. He has annually been invited to deliver Plenary, Keynote and Invited lectures at International forums, whose total number is >200; he registered >150 Japanese and International patents and secured more than 30M$AUD in funding from Government and Industry sources (e.g. ARC, JSPS, Toyota, Denka, Teijin, L’Oreal, Prime Minister funds etc.) in Japan, Australia and Russian Federation. In 2019 he won one of the largest ever ARC LIEF grants of 2.7M$AUD for installation of a Super-TEM at QUT. He was a recipient of many domestic and international awards, including 2012 Thomson Reuters Prize for Development of Research Fronts, “Seto” Award by the Japanese Microscopy Society (2017) to the best electron microscopist of Japan over a calendar year, Tsukuba Prize (2005), NIMS President Prize (2017) and QUT Faculty Award "Frontier of Knowledge" (2019).
