We summarize the development and application of ABX3-type lead-free halide perovskite materials, especially in optoelectronic devices.

Fiber optic Fabry-Perot cavity hydrophone have the advantages of high sensitivity, simple structure and the resistance to electromagnetic interference, making them as a research hotspot. Filling the Fabry-Perot cavity with water media would lead to a decrease in the reflectivity of the fiber end face, thus causing a decrease in the sensitivity of the fiber FP cavity hydrophone. In this work, the magnetron sputtering technology was utilized with alumina as the sputtering target. A thin film was deposited to the end face of the optical fiber to improve the reflectivity of the end face of the fiber. Coated fibers with varied film thicknesses were prepared and their reflectivity was characterized. The experimental results showed that the reflectivity of the end face of the optical fiber in water media can be increased by an order of magnitude to 2.61%, which is an excellent basis for the development of a highly sensitive optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity hydrophone.

Since their discovery, ferroelectric materials have shown excellent dielectric responses, pyroelectricity, piezoelectricity, electro-optical effects, nonlinear optical effects, etc. They are a class of functional materials with broad application prospects. Traditional pure inorganic piezoelectric materials have better piezoelectricity but higher rigidity; pure organic piezoelectric materials have better flexibility but havetoo small a piezoelectric coefficient. The material composite, on the other hand, can combine the advantages of both, so that it has both flexibility and a high piezoelectric coefficient. In this paper, a new molecular piezoelectric material (C5H11NO)2PbBr4 with a high Curie temperature Tc and a large piezoelectric voltage constant g33, referred to as (ATHP)2PbBr4, was used to prepare a 0-3 type piezoelectric composite film by compounding with an organic polymer material polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and its ferroelectricity was investigated. The results show that the 0-3 type (ATHP)2PbBr4 piezoelectric composite film has good ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity, and the calculated piezoelectric voltage constant g33 after polarization is about 358.6 × 10−3 Vm/N, which is higher than that of PVDF material, and is important for the fabrication of high-performance piezoelectric sensors.
