Summary

This is an essential review chapter that aims to provide information on the nature of optoelectronic materials, the genesis of the phenomenon, and the uses in various application. Some insight will be provided on the many challenges faced by popular optoelectronic materials, whether from the different manufacturing practises used to engineer the numerous devices or to their inherent efficiency in the different applications. All of these will be discussed while establishing the role of characterisation as a vital means to understand, diagnose, and correctly tune the optoelectronic performances, whether this is via altering the chemical synthesis route or through modifying the direct fabrication processes. At the end of the chapter, case studies will be provided, to exemplify the information that can be garnered from some of the characterisation techniques discussed.
