“…These findings suggest that inorganic lead halide heterostructure has the potential to be used for heavy metal degradation and water pollution removal catalysts. Lead tri-halide perovskites have been considered as a fascinating class of materials for next generation applications due to their remarkable characteristics, including enhanced optical features, high extinction constant, tunable bandgap, versatile surface chemistry, long-range electron-hole diffusion, and high carrier mobility (Akkerman et al, 2015;Gull et al, 2020). This class of materials possesses the general formula of ABX 3 where A is a cation (organic/inorganic), B is a divalent metal (Pb 2+ , Sn 2+ , Ge 2+ ), and X is an anion (Cl 1-, Br 1-, I 1or mixture) (Kulkarni et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2019).…”
