Abstract
Recently, lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have shown great potential and have been widely studied in lighting and optoelectronic fields. However, the long-term stability of perovskite NCs under irradiation is an important challenge for their application in practice. Mn2+ dopants are mostly proposed as substitutes for the Pb site in perovskite NCs synthesized through the hot-injection method, with the aim of improving both photo- and thermal stability. In this work, we employed a facile ligand-assisted reprecipitate strategy to introduce Mn ions into perovskite lattice, and the results showed that Mn3+ instead of Mn2+, even with a very low level of incorporation of 0.18 mol % as interstitial dopant, can enhance the photostability of perovskite binder film under the ambient conditions without emission change, and the photoluminescent efficiency can retain 70% and be stable under intensive irradiation for 12 h. Besides, Mn3+ incorporation could prolong the photoluminescent decay time by passivating trap defects and modifying the distortion of the lattice, which underscores the significant potential for application as light emitters.

Abstract
Perovskite-based photodetectors exhibit potential applications in communication, neuromorphic chips, and biomedical imaging due to their outstanding photoelectric properties and facile manufacturability. However, few of perovskite-based photodetectors focus on ultraviolet-visible-short-wavelength infrared (UV-Vis-SWIR) broadband photodetection because of the relatively large bandgap. Moreover, such broadband photodetectors with individual nanocrystal channel featuring monolithic integration with functional electronic/optical components have hardly been explored. Herein, an individual monocrystalline MAPbBr3 nanoplate-based photodetector is demonstrated that simultaneously achieves efficient UV-Vis-SWIR detection and fast-response. Nanoplate photodetectors (NPDs) are prepared by assembling single nanoplate on adjacent gold electrodes. NPDs exhibit high external quantum efficiency (EQE) and detectivity of 1200% and 5.37 × 1012 Jones, as well as fast response with rise time of 80 µs. Notably, NPDs simultaneously achieve high EQE and fast response, exceeding most perovskite devices with multi-nanocrystal channel. Benefiting from the high specific surface area of nanoplate with surface-trap-assisted absorption, NPDs achieve high performance in the near-infrared and SWIR spectral region of 850-1450 nm. Unencapsulated devices show outstanding UV-laser-irradiation endurance and decent periodicity and repeatability after 29-day-storage in atmospheric environment. Finally, imaging applications are demonstrated. This work verifies the potential of perovskite-based broadband photodetection, and stimulates the monolithic integration of various perovskite-based devices.

Abstract
New bromide compounds A2BIBIIIBr6 with a double perovskite structure provide variety and flexibility of optoelectronic properties, and some of them are of poor toxicity in comparison with such popular lead halides. The promising compound with a double perovskite structure was proposed recently for the ternary system of CsBr-CuBr-InBr3. Analysis of phase equilibria in the CsBr-CuBr-InBr3 ternary system showed stability of the quasi-binary section of CsCu2Br3-Cs3In2Br9. Formation of the estimated phase Cs2CuInBr6 by melt crystallization or solid-state sintering was not observed, most likely, as a result of higher thermodynamic stability of binary bromides CsCu2Br3 and Cs3In2Br9. The existence of three quasi-binary sections was observed, while no ternary bromide compounds were found.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (HOIP) have become a promising visible light sensing material due to their excellent optoelectronic characteristics. Despite the superiority, overcoming the stability issue for commercialization remains a challenge. Herein, an extremely stable photodetector was demonstrated and fabricated with Cs0.06FA0.94Pb(I0.68Br0.32)3 perovskite by an all-vacuum process. The photodetector achieves a current density up to 1.793 × 10-2 A cm-2 under standard one sun solar illumination while maintaining a current density as low as 8.627 × 10-10 A cm-2 at zero bias voltage. The linear dynamic range (LDR) and transient voltage response were found to be comparable to the silicon-based photodetector (Newport 818-SL). Most importantly, the device maintains 95% of the initial performance after 960 h of incessant exposure under one sun solar illumination. The achievements of these outstanding results contributed to the all-vacuum deposition process delivering a film with high stability and good uniformity, which in turn delays the degradation process. The degradation mechanism is further investigated by impedance spectroscopy to reveal the charge dynamics in the photodetector under different exposure times.

Abstract
Organometal halide perovskite single crystals are one of the most promising radiation detection materials due to their unique advantages of high absorption coefficient, long carrier diffusion length, and low defect density. However, the severe ion migration in perovskites deteriorates the X-ray detection performance under longtime and high-field operating conditions. This work reports an effective additive of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), which can suppress the ion migration and improve the performance and the operational stability of FAPbBr3 single crystals (SCs) in X-ray detection significantl. The CDCA molecules in precursors effectively suppress the decomposition of FA ions, resulting in a better crystal orientation and stoichiometry. The trace amounts of CDCA residues in FAPbBr3 SCs improve the thermal stability and effectively suppress the ion migration. The resulting detector shows an impressive X-ray sensitivity up to 21 386.88 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 under -500 V and a detection limit of 15.23 nGyair s-1 . The response current of the detector at 225 V cm-1 field is barely changed under the 7200 s irradiation with a dose rate of 1.949 mGyair s-1 . This work provides insights for the additive selection and improving the operational stability of perovskite single crystals for commercial applications.

Abstract
The double perovskite halides A2BIBIIIX6 provide flexibility for various formulation adjustments and are of less toxicity in comparison with well-discussed complex lead halide derivatives. Such type of structure can be formed by replacing two Pb2+ ions in the cubic lattice with a pair of non-toxic heterovalent (monovalent and trivalent) metal cations, such as silver and indium. The aim of this work is to briefly characterize the phase equilibria in the ternary system CsBr-AgBr-InBr3 and investigate the thermodynamic availability of synthesis of Cs2AgInBr6 double perovskite phase by solid-state sintering or melt crystallization. The results demonstrate the unfeasibility of the Cs2AgInBr6 phase but high stability of the corresponding binary bromides perspective for optoelectronics.

Abstract
Three-dimensional lead halide perovskites are known for their excellent optoelectronic properties, making them suitable for photovoltaic and light-emitting applications. Here, we report for the first time the Raman spectra and photoluminescent (PL) properties of recently discovered three-dimensional aziridinium lead halide perovskites (AZPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I), as well as assignment of vibrational modes. We also report diffuse reflection data, which revealed an extended absorption of light of AZPbX3 compared to the MA and FA counterparts and are beneficial for solar cell application. We demonstrated that this behavior is correlated with the size of the organic cation, i.e., the energy band gap of the cubic lead halide perovskites decreases with the increasing size of the organic cation. All compounds show intense PL, which weakens on heating and shifts toward higher energies. This PL is red shifted compared to the FA and MA counterparts. An analysis of the PL data revealed the small exciton binding energy of AZPbX3 compounds (29-56 meV). Overall, the properties of AZPbX3 are very similar to those of the well-known MAPbX3 and FAPbX3 perovskites, indicating that the aziridinium analogues are also attractive materials for light-emitting and solar cell applications.

Abstract
Because of its stable chemical properties and wide band gap, CsPbCl3 perovskite has shown great application prospects in ultraviolet photodetectors (UPDs). However, the poor solubility of CsCl in organic solvents impedes the fabrication of high-quality CsPbCl3 films. Herein, we introduced an A-site substitute route for fabricating a high-quality CsPbCl3 microcrystalline (MC) film by spin-coating cesium acetate on a MAPbCl3 MC film followed by a high-temperature annealing process. To enhance the device performance of the FTO/SnO2/CsPbCl3 MCs/carbon structure UPD, a pressure-assisted annealing strategy was carried out, which reduced the void density and surface roughness of the microcrystal film. Finally, our optimized PDs showed high device performances with an on/off ratio of 6 × 104, a responsivity of 0.13 A W-1, a detectivity of as high as 1.07 × 1012 Jones, and a rise/fall time of 10/24 μs. Moreover, our unpacked PDs showed good storage and light stability. Our results lay a foundation for the application of all inorganic perovskite in the ultraviolet region.

Abstract
Hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites (HOIPs) have recently represented a material breakthrough for optoelectronic applications. Obviously, studying the interactions between the central organic cation and the Pb-X inorganic octahedral could provide a better understanding of HOIPs. In this work, we used a first-principles theoretical study to investigate the effect of different orientations of central formamidinium cation (FA+) on the electronic and optical properties of FAPbBr3 hybrid perovskite. In order to do this, the band structure (with and without spin–orbit coupling (SOC)), density of states (DOS), partial density of states (PDOS), electron density, distortion index, bond angle variance, dielectric function, and absorption spectra were computed. The findings revealed that a change in the orientation of FA+ caused some disorders in the distribution of interactions, resulting in the formation of some specific energy levels in the structure. The interactions between the inorganic and organic parts in different directions create a distortion index in the bonds of the inorganic octahedral, thus leading to a change in the volume of PbBr6. This is the main reason for the variations observed in the electronic and optical properties of FAPbBr3. The obtained results can be helpful in solar-cell applications.

Abstract
In recent decades, many technological advances have been enabled by nanoscale phenomena, giving rise to the field of nanotechnology. In particular, unique optical and electronic phenomena occur on length scales less than 10 nanometres, which enable novel applications. Halide perovskites have been the focus of intense research on their optoelectronic properties and have demonstrated impressive performance in photovoltaic devices and later in other optoelectronic technologies, such as lasers and light-emitting diodes. The most studied crystalline form is the three-dimensional one, but, recently, the exploration of the low-dimensional derivatives has enabled new sub-classes of halide perovskite materials to emerge with distinct properties. In these materials, low-dimensional metal halide structures responsible for the electronic properties are separated and partially insulated from one another by the (typically organic) cations. Confinement occurs on a crystal lattice level, enabling bulk or thin-film materials that retain a degree of low-dimensional character. In particular, quasi-zero dimensional perovskite derivatives are proving to have distinct electronic, absorption, and photoluminescence properties. They are being explored for various technologies beyond photovoltaics (e.g. thermoelectrics, lasing, photodetectors, memristors, capacitors, LEDs). This review brings together the recent literature on these zero-dimensional materials in an interdisciplinary way that can spur applications for these compounds. The synthesis methods, the electrical, optical, and chemical properties, the advances in applications, and the challenges that need to be overcome as candidates for future electronic devices have been covered.

Abstract
Memristors have attracted considerable attention as one of the four basic circuit elements besides resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Especially, the nonvolatile memory devices have become a promising candidate for the new-generation information storage, due to their excellent write, read, and erase rates, in addition to the low-energy consumption, multistate storage, and high scalability. Among them, halide perovskite (HP) memristors have great potential to achieve low-cost practical information storage and computing. However, the usual lead-based HP memristors face serious problems of high toxicity and low stability. To alleviate the above issues, great effort has been devoted to develop lead-free HP memristors. Here, we have summarized and discussed the advances in HP memristors from lead-based to lead-free materials including memristive properties, stability, neural network applications, and memristive mechanism. Finally, the challenges and prospects of lead-free HP memristors have been discussed.

Abstract
Formamidine-based hybrid perovskite is an excellent optoelectronic material; however, its intrinsic non-layered crystalline structure makes it hard to isolate the corresponding 2D counterparts. In this work, a unique liquid-epitaxy technique was introduced to grow micro-sized two-dimensional FAPbX3 perovskite sheets. Such ultrathin sheets exhibited excellent photo-induced carrier properties with high crystalline quality, as well as provided new opportunities for next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the state-of-the-art hybrid halide perovskites, their application in optoelectronic systems has drawn considerable attention. However, the toxicity from lead (Pb) and the volatility induced by organic constituents hinder their future large-scale market development. Herein, a fully inorganic Pb-free halide perovskite based on robust Cs3Bi2I9 is synthesized and realized its potential in photodetector application. The material property investigation suggests the good crystalline quality with strong absorption coefficient suitable for photodetection. An interesting feature based on the extended absorption is obtained, which is the characteristic of a weak phonon-assisted transition. Additionally, the morphological features display the beautifully grown micrometer-sized crystals of Cs3Bi2I9. The fabricated photodetector demonstrated the self-powered operation (zero-bias state) with a very low dark current of 0.46 pA. Profiting from this, an improved photosensitivity of 1.4 × 104 is achieved. Moreover, along with self-powered photodetection, the photodetector exhibits a broad spectral response (450-950 nm), high detectivity (1.2 × 1010/1.6 × 1012 Jones), high responsivity (0.59 μA W-1/3.8 mA W-1), and fast response speed (ms) under a weak optical signal of 0.1 mW cm-2 with a larger active area of 0.25 cm2. The photodetector shows high photostability which was well retained for almost 2000 repetitive cycles without degradation. More strikingly, based on the core stability of the perovskite film, an excellent long-term stability of 3 months (90 days) is achieved for the photodetector even after exposure to moist air (75% relative humidity). This study thus highlights one of the few Pb-free all-inorganic perovskite photodetectors employing a simple device architecture with a larger active area that outshines by showing efficient and comparable performance under the self-powered mode under low light conditions.

Abstract
Hybrid perovskite single-crystalline thin films are promising for making high-performance perovskite optoelectronic devices due to their superior physical properties. However, it is still challenging to incorporate them into multilayer devices because of their on-substrate growth. Here, a wet transfer method is used in transferring perovskite single-crystalline films perfectly onto various target substrates. More importantly, large millimeter-scaled single-crystalline films can be obtained via a diffusion-facilitated space-confined growth method as thin as a few hundred nanometers, which are capable of sustaining excellent crystalline quality and morphology after the transferring process. The availability of these crystalline films offers us a convenient route to further investigate their intrinsic properties of hybrid perovskites. We also demonstrate that the wet transfer method can be used for scalable fabrication of perovskite single-crystalline film-based photodetectors exhibiting a remarkable photoresponsivity. It is expected that this transferring strategy would promise broad applications of perovskite single-crystalline films for more complex perovskite devices.

Abstract
Single crystals represent a benchmark for understanding the bulk properties of halide perovskites. We have indeed studied the dielectric function of lead bromide perovskite single crystals (MAPbBr3, CsPbBr3 and for the first time FAPbBr3) by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the range of 1-5 eV while varying the temperature from 183 to 440 K. An extremely low absorption coefficient in the sub-band gap region was found, indicating the high optical quality of all three crystals. We extracted the band gap values through critical point analysis showing that Tauc-based values are systematically underestimated. The two structural phase transitions, i.e., orthorhombic-tetragonal and tetragonal-cubic, show distinct optical behaviors, with the former having a discontinuous character. The cross-correlation of optical data with DFT calculations evidences the role of octahedral tilting in tailoring the value of the band gap at a given temperature, whereas differences in the thermal expansion affect the slope of the band gap trend as a function of temperature.

Abstract
Having suffered from intrinsic structural lability, perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are extremely unstable under high-temperature and moisture conditions, which have greatly limited their applications. In this work, we propose a novel method to synthesize ultrastable carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-doped methylamine (MA) lead bromide PQDs with SiO2 encapsulation (CQDs-MAPbBr3@SiO2). The kernel CQDs-MAPbBr3 is formed by the interaction of carboxyl-rich CQDs with MAPbBr3 via H-bond, which greatly improves the thermal stability of CQDs-MAPbBr3. Furthermore, highly compact SiO2 encapsulates the proposed CQDs-MAPbBr3 via a facile in situ growth strategy, which effectively enhances the water resistance and air stability of CQDs-MAPbBr3@SiO2. As a result, the proposed nanomaterial shows extremely high water stability in aqueous solution for over 9 months and ideal thermal stability with strong fluorescence (FL) emission after 150 °C annealing. Based on the superior stability and ultrahigh FL efficiency of this proposed nanomaterial, a primary sensing method for ion (Ag+ and Zn2+) FL detection has been developed and the mechanism of PQDs-based ion determination has also been discussed, thus exhibiting the potential applications of CQDs-MAPbBr3@SiO2 in the area of FL assay and environment monitoring.

The perovskite materials are sensitive to environments such as polar solvents, moisture, and heat. Thus, they are not used for extrusion three-dimensional (3D) printing, as it is usually conducted in the ambient environment and requires heating to liquefy the printed materials. In this work, 11 thermoplastic polymers conventionally used for extrusion 3D printing were investigated to test their capability as protective encapsulation materials for perovskite nanocrystals. Three of them exhibited good protective properties, and one (polycaprolactone, PCL) of these three could be blended with perovskite nanocrystals to form perovskite nanocrystal-PCL composites, which were deformable and stretchable once heated. Because of the low melting point of PCL, the perovskite nanocrystals maintained their optical properties after 3D printing, and the printed objects were still having fluorescent behavior. Moreover, fluorescent micrometer-sized fibers based on the perovskite nanocrystal-PCL composites could also be simply prepared using cotton candy makers. Perovskite nanocrystal-PCL composite films with different emission wavelengths were incorporated with blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to realize white LEDs with Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage chromaticity coordinates of (0.33, 0.33).

[PMID: 34137969 PMCID: PMC7770810 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-019-0244-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 01/21/2019] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskites have emerged as excellent semiconductors for a broad range of optoelectronic applications, such as photovoltaics, lighting, lasing and photon detection. However, toxicity of lead and poor stability still represent significant challenges. Fortunately, halide double perovskite materials with formula of A2M(I)M(III)X6 or A2M(IV)X6 could be potentially regarded as stable and green alternatives for optoelectronic applications, where two divalent lead ions are substituted by combining one monovalent and one trivalent ions, or one tetravalent ion. Here, the article provides an up-to-date review on the developments of halide double perovskite materials and their related optoelectronic applications including photodetectors, X-ray detectors, photocatalyst, light-emitting diodes and solar cells. The synthesized halide double perovskite materials exhibit exceptional stability, and a few possess superior optoelectronic properties. However, the number of synthesized halide double perovskites is limited, and more limited materials have been developed for optoelectronic applications to date. In addition, the band structures and carrier transport properties of the materials are still not desired, and the films still manifest low quality for photovoltaic applications. Therefore, we propose that continuing efforts are needed to develop more halide double perovskites, modulate the properties and grow high-quality films, with the aim of opening the wild practical applications.

Abstract
All-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals are emerging as a new class of semiconductors with outstanding optoelectronic properties and great potential for various applications, such as, lasing, photon detection, photovoltaics, etc. This article provides the effect of solvents on the reprecipitation of CsPbBr3 perovskite at room temperature. The results observed for CsPbBr3 perovskite in various antisolvents showed various cubes (nano- to microsized), self-assembly of nanocubes and nanorods. In addition, all of the various sizes (nano to micro) of cubes and self-assembly of nanocubes and shape-controlled nanorods exhibited band gap tuning at the green light region. The corresponding microscopy (field emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy) images and photoluminescence quantum yield as well as lifetime decay are presented. To the best of our literature knowledge, this is the first report on various solvent-assisted studies on CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals.

Abstract
Owing to their low trap-state density, high carrier mobility, and high thermal stability, CsPbBr3 perovskite microcrystals (MCs) have attracted significant attention for applications as photodetectors (PDs). However, solution synthesis processes lead to MC films with high void density, seriously limiting the performance of the PDs. Here, a pressure-assisted annealing strategy is introduced to significantly reduce the void density and decrease the surface roughness. The resulting self-powered all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite MC thick-film PDs show improved performance characteristics, with responsivities and detectivities of up to 0.206 A W-1 and 7.23 × 1012 Jones, respectively. Moreover, the on/off ratios of the devices are up to 106, and the highest linear dynamic range reaches 123.5 dB. These improved results indicate that the pressure-assisted annealing method is an effective strategy to enhance the performance of solution-synthesized perovskite MC PDs.

Abstract
We developed a high-performance photodetector based on (CH3NH3)3Sb2I9 (MA3Sb2I9) microsingle crystals (MSCs). The MA3Sb2I9 single crystals exhibit a low-trap state density of ∼1010 cm-3 and a long carrier diffusion length reaching 3.0 μm, suggesting its great potential for optoelectronic applications. However, the centimeter single crystal (CSC)-based photodetector exhibits low responsivity (10-6 A/W under 1 sun illumination) due to low charge-carrier collection efficiency. By constructing the MSC photodetector with efficient charge-carrier collection, the responsivity can be improved by three orders of magnitude (under 1 sun illumination) and reach 40 A/W with monochromatic light (460 nm). Furthermore, the MSC photodetectors exhibit fast response speed of <1 ms, resulting in a high gain of 108 and a gain-bandwidth product of 105 Hz. These numbers are comparable to the lead-perovskite single-crystal-based photodetectors.
