About
Can Deng is a rising figure in advanced materials science, whose research focuses on the crystallization dynamics and phase stability of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites for next-generation optoelectronics. In a landmark 2023 study, Deng pioneered the use of a robot-based high-throughput platform to systematically synthesize 28 Ruddlesden–Popper-type quasi-2D perovskites incorporating four distinct aromatic-based cations, including phenylmethylammonium. This work, which has garnered 25 citations, provided unprecedented insight into how large organic cations drive thermal-induced phase evolution and crystallization pathways, directly addressing the critical challenge of stabilizing three-dimensional perovskites. By revealing the intricate relationship between molecular structure and material performance, Deng’s contributions offer a powerful blueprint for designing more durable and efficient perovskite devices. Their innovative integration of automated experimentation with fundamental materials chemistry not only accelerates discovery but also sets a new standard for reproducibility in the field. For students and researchers, Deng’s work exemplifies how combining robotics with deep chemical insight can unlock the next frontier in sustainable energy materials.
