Technoeconomic Model Suggests Scaling-Up Perovskite Quantum Dots for Optoelectronics Warrants Improved Synthesis Yield, Solvent Recycling, and Automation

Year: 2022

Type: other

Abstract: A comprehensive technoeconomic cost-analysis of perovskite quantum dot optoelectronics is reported. Using economies-of-scale considerations based on price data from prominent materials suppliers, higher QD synthesis yield, solvent recycling, and synthesis automation are shown to be critical for market-entry of this technology. Combinedly, this three-pronged approach drives quantum dot film fabrication costs down from >$50/m2 to ~$2-3/m2.
