Overview
This book provides a comprehensive review of lead-free halide perovskites and explores their potential to revolutionize solar energy conversion. From elucidating the fundamental principles of solar energy conversion to exploring innovative techniques such as chirality enhancement, vapor deposition, and operando characterization, this book offers a thorough and authoritative overview of the field. Divided into three parts, the book begins with an introduction to the general properties of solar energy conversion mediated by lead-free halide perovskites. The second part of the book presents the latest developments and challenges of lead-free perovskite solar cells, and the book concludes with a section covering the current status and future trends of photocatalysis mediated by lead-free perovskites. In this book, readers will discover eco-friendly alternatives to traditional tin-based solar cells, and learn about the promise of green hydrogen production, and the synthesis of value-added chemicals using perovskite-based systems. With its breadth of coverage, this book is essential reading for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals seeking inspiration and valuable guidance to implement sustainable energy solutions using lead-free perovskite-based systems.

Author Information
Silvia Colella is a researcher at CNR-NANOTEC (Bari, Italy). After receiving her Ph.D. in Nanoscience in 2010, she worked at the “Institut de science et d′ingénierie supramoléculaires” (ISIS) in Strasbourg and with BASF SE in Ludwigshafen, Germany. She was also a researcher at the Physics Department of University of Salento (Lecce, Italy) for 2013 to 2019. Her research activity has always dealt with understanding and controlling the properties of novel photovoltaic and optoelectronic materials, with a special focus, on metal halide perovskites. She has published 80+ papers and was cited more than 3500 times in the field of organic and hybrid optoelectronics. Andrea Listorti is an Associate Professor at the University of Bari, Italy. He previously served as a researcher at the University of Salento in Lecce, Italy. He earned his PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2009 from the University of Bologna. Following his doctorate, he conducted research at CNR-ISOF in Bologna, Imperial College London (UK), and the Italian Institute of Technology in Lecce, Italy. Since 2006, he has authored more than 100 scientific publications in the fields of molecular photophysics, solar fuels, and optoelectronic devices. His current research focuses on the fundamental understanding and practical exploitation of organometal halide perovskite materials.
