Metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar cells have attracted much attention due to the rapidly growing power conversion efficiency that has reached 25.2% in a decade, comparable to established commercial photovoltaic modules. Compositional engineering is one of the most effective methods to boost the performance of MHP solar cells. Further improving the efficiency and the stability of MHP solar cells necessitates good understanding of the chemical–efficiency correlation and the chemical evolution during the degradation of MHP solar cells. In this regard, time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) is a powerful tool to investigate the chemical aspect of MHPs and has played an important role in advancing the development of MHP optoelectronics. However, up to date, a review that can guide future utilization of ToF‐SIMS in the MHP development is missing. Herein, the capabilities of ToF‐SIMS in MHP investigations are summarized and analyzed from simple material synthesis and chemical distribution to more complicated device operation mechanism and stability. The strength of ToF‐SIMS in resolving important issues in this field, such as interface composition, ion migration, and degradation in MHP is highlighted. Finally, an outlook with an emphasis on making the utmost of ToF‐SIMS in developing MHP devices is provided.

synthesis has emerged as the strategy for generating high-quality nanosized particles. [1,2] The resulting composite materials, in particular those inorganic nanoparticles embedded in the nanoporous matrix, often exhibit unanticipated optical, thermoelectric, magnetic, catalytic, and other properties. [1][2][3][4][5] The chemistry inside a nano-confined space would impose the physical constraints and chemical effect to increase reaction rates, limit growth size and stabilize reactive species. [5] Controlling the size and shape of semiconductor nanocrystals will enable tuning the bandgap of semiconductors via the quantum size effect, thus launching an effective route to precisely control the emission wavelength of nanocrystals. In addition, the nano-sized cage would also isolate and stabilize the formed nanocrystals. [6] Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) recently have attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding optical and electric properties, which make them promising candidates as building blocks of optoelectronic devices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), [7] photovoltaics, [8,9] lasers, [10,11] and photodetectors. [12] Recent intriguing concepts have elegantly used nano porous matrices to integrate with perovskite materials including nanocrystals and films. Such systems exhibit efficient manufacturing processes with much-improved material stability [13,14] and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) above 50%. [15][16][17] One facile strategy to create such systems is in situ nano-confined growth of metal perovskite QDs in a nanoporous template. However, prior studies have focused on using powders or thin films, [16][17][18][19] the low-dimensional morphologies of which usually suffer from inherent problems such as poor handling properties, high transparency limitations, and mechanical instability towards optical applications. For the integration of perovskite QDs composites into optoelectronic devices, a complex and time-consuming multi-step package procedure is required. [18,20] Thus, optically transparent, robust, and monolithic nanoporous templates are therefore highly sought after.The concept of optics and glasses go hand in hand. Recently inorganic glasses have drawn increasing attention as perovskite QDs matrix owing to their superior optical quality and thermal resistance. [21][22][23] The inorganic glass networks could act as a Prior nano-confined matrices for perovskite quantum dots (QDs) dealt only with powders or thin films, which usually suffer from poor handling properties and high transparency limitations for integrating into optical devices. Here, the nano-confined growth of perovskite QDs in an optically transparent, robust, and monolithic matrix by using nanoporous glass (NG) as a nano-reactor is demonstrated. Owing to quantum confinement effects in the inherent nanoporous network, rapid nanoconfined low-temperature solutionprocessed perovskite QDs could synthesize spontaneously. The binding energy of CsPbBr 3 QDs in NG has been enhanced to ≈177.2 meV due to t...
Abstract1D metal halide perovskite (MHP) nanowires (NWs) have energized research interest owing to their unique characteristics; they are grain‐boundary‐free, efficiently transport axial carriers, in conjunction with strong radial spatial confinement. Herein, recent progress in the synthesis, integration, property characterization, and advanced optoelectronic applications of MHP NWs is systematically reviewed. The approaches to synthesize MHP NWs are mainly classified into solution‐phase and vapor‐phase methods, as well as the top‐down technique. Meanwhile, highly ordered patterns/templates‐assisted and surface‐guided alignment methods are utilized to integrate MHP NWs into NW arrays. The enhanced long‐term stability and superior optoelectronic properties of MHP NWs enable excellent optoelectronic device performance, where solar cells, photodetectors, image sensors, bionic eyes, light‐emitting diodes, resistive random‐access memories, and field‐effect transistors are mainly discussed. Finally, some perspectives for further direction of exploration to improve the device performance and path ways toward their practical applications are also provided.
