Wenzhan Xu's research focuses on perovskite materials for solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors, a class of crystalline semiconductors used in next-generation optoelectronic devices. Work centers on improving the efficiency, stability, and defect control of these materials through techniques like surface passivation, polymer additives, and compositional engineering, including lead-free alternatives. The lab also explores related organic and hybrid electronic materials, including light-emitting complexes and photodetector heterojunctions.
