“…Halogen perovskites have attracted much attention due to potential applications in the fields of solar cells, lasers, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. 1–5 They have a chemical formula of ABX 3 , where A, B and X represent monovalent cation, divalent cation and halogen anion, respectively. It has been verified experimentally that ABX 3 compounds usually display four phases, including cubic (α) with a space group of Pm 3̄ m , tetragonal (β) with a space group of P 4/ mbm , and two orthorhombic phases (black γ and non-perovskite yellow δ phases) with space groups of Pbnm and Pnma .…”
