The challenges and promises of layered 2D perovskites

[Formula presented]Dr. Tsai is a postdoctoral associate at the University of California, Berkeley, and works with Prof. Jeffrey Long on controlling the crystal growth kinetics and morphology of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for CO₂ capture. After earning a BS degree in chemistry (Fu Jen Catholic University) and MS degree in polymer science (National Taipei University of Technology), he continued to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory in polymer thin-film research for sensors and catalysis. He continued his PhD training in material science and nanoengineering at Rice University, where he focused on the development of 2D perovskite materials and device research for applications in photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and radiation detectors.
