Welcome to Prof. Rogach
Lab at CityUHK
Welcome to the official website of Prof. Andrey Rogach, Yeung Kin Man Chair Professor in Photonics Materials at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at City University of Hong Kong.
Our research group is dedicated to advancing chemical synthesis and application of nanomaterials. Using colloidal chemistry approaches, we synthesize nanocrystals with variable sizes, shapes, and compositions. We focus on the infrared-emitting quantum dots, as well as carbon dots and perovskites for energy harvesting and light-emitting applications.

New approach boosts efficiency of perovskite light-emitting diodes
Our group has developed a novel method to produce FAPbBr3 perovskite films with an ultralow trap density of 1.2×1010 cm−3, significantly enhancing the performance of LEDs. This advancement resulted in green perovskite LEDs achieving a brightness of approximately 312,000 cd/m2, a half-lifetime of 350 hours, and a power conversion efficiency of 15.6%. Read more in our fresh Nature Comm. paper "Ultralow trap density FAPbBr3 perovskite films for efficient light-emitting diodes and amplified spontaneous emission".
