Perovskite colloidal quantum dots (Pe-CQDs) are promising
materials
for the next-generation optoelectronic devices due to their outstanding
material properties derived from perovskites and QDs. Among the various
synthesis methods, the hot injection (HI) method has been mainly used
to fabricate the active layer of photovoltaics. For the effective
application of Pe-CQDs, the synthesis variables that determine the
properties of Pe-CQDs should be determined. The variables of Pe-CQDs
synthesis can be divided into two types. First, the crystal nucleation
and growth rates can be physically modified by reaction time and temperature.
Second, the synthesis mechanism can be chemically modified by adjusting
the precursors and injection type. In this review, various HI-based
strategies are systematically classified and investigated. Furthermore,
we discuss on how Pe-CQDs with enhanced properties prepared by advanced
synthesis strategies affect the power conversion efficiency and stability
of photovoltaics. Finally, the current limitations of Pe-CQD synthesis
and future agendas are presented.
