Colloidal halide perovskite (CHP) quantum dots (QDs)/nanocrystals (NCs) have superior optoelectronic properties, such as high optical absorption coefficient, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), tunable bandgap, composition‐related luminescence, and low manufacturing cost, which have been considered as promising low‐dimensional semiconductor materials. Profiting from these unique characteristics, CHP NCs could be widely used in various optoelectronic devices, including light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors (PDs), solar cells (SCs), and lasers. Synthesis is the basis for the wide use of CHP NCs, which plays a vital role in the research, development and application of CHPs. Therefore, we summarize the recent synthetic strategies, and their influencing factors (e. g., the effects of ligands, and anion exchange). Besides, a summary of their optoelectronic applications is plainly mentioned. Finally, we make a brief prospect and summarize the current problems and possible solutions of this area.
