Author Bio:

Shi Chen received his PhD from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Christoph J. Brabec. Then he joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies at Southern University of Science and Technology as a research assistant professor. His research interests include the design and synthesis of hybrid perovskite materials, and their applications in solar cells, light-emitting diodes and detectors.

Chuantian Zuo received his PhD in 2018 from National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (CAS) under the supervision of Professor Liming Ding. Then he did postdoctoral research at CSIRO, Australia. Currently, he is an assistant professor in Liming Ding Group. His research focuses on innovative fabrication techniques for perovskite solar cells.

Baomin Xu received his BS in Materials Science and Engineering at Tsinghua University in 1986, and received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at Shanghai Institute of Ceramics (CAS) in 1991. He did postdoctoral studies at Materials Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University (1994–1996). Afterwards, he became an assistant professor at Institute of Materials Science. He joined Southern University of Science and Technology in 2014 and served as chair professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His research focuses on solar cells, lithium-ion battery and fuel cells.

Liming Ding got his PhD from University of Science and Technology of China (was a joint student at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, CAS). He started his research on OSCs and PLEDs in Olle Inganäs Lab in 1998. Later on, he worked at National Center for Polymer Research, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Argonne National Lab (USA). He joined Konarka as a Senior Scientist in 2008. In 2010, he joined National Center for Nanoscience and Technology as a full professor. His research focuses on innovative materials and devices. He is RSC Fellow, the nominator for Xplorer Prize, and the Associate Editors for Science Bulletin and Journal of Semiconductors.
