In recent decades, the family of metal halide hybrid perovskites has attracted attention owing to record-breaking achievements in fields such as photovoltaics (PV), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, and many other electronic devices. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Perovskites, with the generic chemical formula ABX 3 , owe these properties to their flexible cage crystal structure where the A-site is occupied by a monovalent cation which could either be an organic molecule, such as methylammonium2 ) (FA), or an inorganic atom, such as cesium (Cs þ ); the B-site accommodates a divalent inorganic cation such as lead (Pb 2þ ) or tin (Sn 2þ ); and X position is occupied by a halide group, which could be chloride (Cl À ), bromide (Br À ), or iodide (I À ). [8] A critical issue hindering the commercialization of perovskite-based optoelectronic devices is instability and phase degradation. The desirable α-phase perovskite structure, which is ideal for photoelectric conversion, eventually degrades in ambient conditions into the δ-phase, which is a yellowish nonperovskite phase with an unwanted large bandgap and poor charge transport. [3,[9][10][11][12] Various approaches have been attempted to limit such degradation processes. Common is to use encapsulation approaches, including copolymer micellar shielding, [13][14][15] core-shell formation, [15,16] polymer coprecipitation, [17] solid polymer composite formation, [18][19][20][21] incorporation into metalorganic frameworks (MOFs), [22] or in situ stabilization in mesoporous templates. [23] Another approach is through substitution of suitable ions which stabilize the cage symmetry of optically active perovskites. [6,24,25] Importantly, the substitution of ions also induces changes in the emission and absorption spectrum of the parent composition, resulting in a tunable bandgap by tailoring of the ionic composition. [26] Substitution of halides in particular can be leveraged to tune the emission maxima of the perovskite between 400 ≤ λ ≤ 800 nm. [27][28][29] Therefore, halide substitution offers the best avenue for improving the stability of ABX 3 perovskites, while simultaneously allowing bandgap tunability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
