Perovskite quantum dots are an exciting new group of colloidal quantum dots, exhibiting strong excitonic absorption, tuneable photoluminescence in the visible spectrum as well as bright and narrow emission. One of our research interests is to synthesise these quantum dots, control their size and composition, and understand their excitonic properties. In doing so, we develop new synthetic methods resulting in extremely monodisperse perovskite quantum dots with tailored surfaces, and use ultrafast spectroscopy to unravel their quantum properties.
