Lead-Free Halide Double Perovskites: Fundamentals, Challenges, and Photovoltaics Applications

Naveen Kumar Tailor et al.

Summary: Metal halide perovskites have attracted significant interest in photovoltaics, but their toxic lead content and operational instability hinder commercialization. The strategy to overcome this is to replace lead while maintaining stability and efficiency. Halide double perovskites have emerged as lead-free alternatives with flexibility, lower toxicity, and higher stability. An analysis of these compounds reveals key factors influencing their solar cell performance and identifies strategies to enhance their photovoltaic properties.

Why Do Perovskite Nanocrystals Form Nanocubes and How Can Their Facets Be Tuned? A Perspective from Synthetic Prospects

Narayan Pradhan

Summary: Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have become important in quantum dot research due to their high brightness and tunable colors. While most nanocrystals retain hexahedron cubic or platelet shapes, it is still unclear whether multifaceted nanocrystals present synthetic challenges or if the material prefers to maintain stable cube structures. Multifaceted nanocrystals have advantages in triggering anisotropic growth and generating more efficient adsorption sites for catalysis.
