Abstract
We report the detection of high energy electrons of some hundreds of MeV, crossing a methylammonium lead bromide single crystal device with sensitivity down to a single electron. In the device, the released energy is close to the energy released by minimum-ionizing particles. This is the first demonstration of a perovskite-based device that can be used for tracking and counting minimum-ionizing charged particles. The device reaches single particle sensitivity with a low bias voltage of 5 V. It also shows a good linearity of the response as a function of the number of electrons in a dynamic range of approximately 104.

Abstract
Perovskite single crystals have attracted tremendous attention owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties and stability compared to typical multicrystal structures. However, the growth of high-quality perovskite single crystals (PSCs) generally relies on temperature gradients or the introduction of additives to promote crystal growth. In this study, a vacuum evaporation crystallization technique is developed that allows PSCs to be grown under extremely stable conditions at constant temperature and without requiring additives to promote crystal growth. The new method enables the growth of PSCs of unprecedented quality, that is, MAPbBr3 single crystals that exhibit an ultranarrow full width at half maximum of 0.00701°, which surpasses that of all previously reported values. In addition, the MAPbBr3 single crystals deliver exceptional optoelectronic performance, including a long carrier lifetime of 1006 ns, an ultralow trap-state density of 3.67 × 109 cm-3, and an ultrahigh carrier mobility of 185.86 cm2 V-1 s-1. This method is applicable to various types of PSCs, including organic-inorganic hybrids, fully inorganic structures, and low-dimensional structures.

Unprecedented Richness of Temperature- and Pressure-Induced Polymorphism in 1D Lead Iodide Perovskite. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2403685.

Abstract
Inherent features of metal halide perovskites are their softness, complex lattice dynamics, and phase transitions spectacularly tuning their structures and properties. While the structural transformations are well described and classified in 3D perovskites, their 1D analogs are much less understood. Herein, both temperature- and pressure-dependent structural evolutions of a 1D AcaPbI3 perovskitoid incorporating acetamidinium (Aca) cation are examined. The study reveals the existence of nine phases of δ-AcaPbI3, which present the most diverse polymorphic collection among known perovskite materials. Interestingly, temperature- and pressure-triggered phase transitions in the 1D perovskotoid exhibit fundamentally different natures: the thermal transformations are mainly associated with the collective translations of rigid polyanionic units and ordering/disordering dynamics of Aca cations, while the compression primarily affects inorganic polymer chains. Moreover, in the 1-D chains featuring the face-sharing connection mode of the PbI6 octahedra the Pb···Pb distances are significantly shortened compared to the corner-sharing 3D perovskite frameworks, hence operating in the van der Waals territory. Strikingly, a good correlation is found between the Pb···Pb distances and the pressure evolution of the bandgap values in the δ-AcaPbI3, indicating that in 1D perovskitoid structures, the contacts between Pb2+ ions are one of the critical parameters determining their properties.

Abstract
Compared to 3D perovskites, 2D perovskites exhibit excellent stability, structural diversity, and tunable bandgaps, making them highly promising for applications in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. However, the trade-off for worse charge transport is a critical issue that needs to be addressed. This comprehensive review first discusses the structure of 3D and 2D metal halide perovskites, then summarizes the significant factors influencing charge transport in detail and provides a brief overview of the testing methods. Subsequently, various strategies to improve the charge transport are presented, including tuning A'-site organic spacer cations, A-site cations, B-site metal cations, and X-site halide ions. Finally, an outlook on the future development of improving the 2D perovskites' charge transport is discussed.

Abstract
Tuning the thermal transport properties of hybrid halide perovskites is critical for their applications in optoelectronics, thermoelectrics, and photovoltaics. Here, an effective strategy is demonstrated to modulate the thermal transport property of hybrid perovskites by halide alloying. A highly tunable thermal conductivity of mixed-halide hybrid perovskites is achieved due to halide-alloying and structural distortion. The experimental measurements show that the room temperature thermal conductivity of MAPb(BrxI1- x)3 (x = 0─1) can be largely modulated from 0.27 ± 0.07 W m-1 K-1 (x = 0.5) to 0.47 ± 0.09 W m-1 K-1 (x = 1). Molecular dynamics simulations further demonstrate that the thermal conductivity reduction of hybrid halide perovskites results from the suppression of the mean free paths of the low-frequency acoustic and optical phonons. It is found that halide alloying and the induced structural distortion can largely increase the scatterings of optical and acoustic phonons, respectively. The confined diffusion of MA+ cations in the octahedra cage is found to act as an additional thermal transport channel in hybrid perovskites and can contribute around 10-20% of the total thermal conductivity. The findings provide a strategy for tailoring the thermal transport in hybrid halide perovskites, which may largely benefit their related applications.

Abstract
Perovskite single crystals with excellent physical properties have broad prospects in the field of optoelectronics. However, the presence of dangling bonds, surface dislocations, and chemical impurities results in high surface defect density and sensitivity to humidity. Unfortunately, there are relatively few surface engineering strategies for single perovskite single crystals. We present a strategy utilizing atomic layer deposited SnOx to passivate surface defects in perovskite single crystals. The photodetector prepared based on the modified FAPbBr3 single crystals exhibits a low dark current of 1.89 × 10-9 A at a 5 V bias, close to 4 times lower with respect to the pristine device, a high detectivity of 2.3 × 1010 jones, and a fast response time of 27 μs. Moreover, the photodetectors feature long-term operational stability because the presence of a dense SnOx capping layer hinders the ingress of moisture and diffusion of ions. We further demonstrate the promise of our perovskite single crystal detectors for real-time subaqueous optical communication.

Abstract
The remarkable brightness and rapid scintillation observed in perovskite single crystals (SCs) become even more striking when they are operated at cryogenic temperatures. In this study, we present advancements in enhancing the scintillation properties of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) SCs by optimizing the synthesis process. We successfully synthesized millimeter-sized MAPbBr3 SCs with bright green luminescence under UV light. However, both MAPbBr3 (Control-1M and THF-0.4M) SCs display notable radioluminescence exclusively at low temperatures due to their phase transitions. Notably, the THF-0.4M SCs exhibit a remarkable improvement in radioluminescence light yield, surpassing Control-1M SCs more than 2-fold. Further, THF-0.4M SCs demonstrate an ultrafast decay component of 0.52 ns (82.2%) and a slower component of 1.80 ns (17.8%), contributing to a rapid scintillation response at low temperatures. Therefore, the amalgamation of ultrafast decay components and improved radioluminescence light yield equips THF-0.4M SCs to emerge as a top choice for perovskite scintillators for X-ray timing applications.

Abstract
The next-generation X-ray detectors require novel semiconductors with low material/fabrication cost, excellent X-ray response characteristics, and robust operational stability. The family of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) materials comprises a range of crystal configuration (i.e., films, wafers, and single crystals) with tunable chemical composition, structures, and electronic properties, which can perfectly meet the multiple-stringent requirements of high-energy radiation detection, making them emerging as the cutting-edge candidate for next-generation X-ray detectors. From the perspective of molecular dimensionality, the physicochemical and optoelectronic characteristics of OIHPs exhibit dimensionality-dependent behavior, and thus the structural dimensionality is recognized as the key factor that determines the device performance of OIHPs-based X-ray detectors. Nevertheless, the correlation between dimensionality of OIHPs and performance of their X-ray detectors is still short of theoretical guidance, which become a bottleneck that impedes the development of efficient X-ray detectors. In the review, the advanced studies on the dimensionality engineering of OIHPs are critically assessed in X-ray detection application, discussing the current understanding on the "dimensionality-property" relationship of OIHPs and the state-of-the-art progresses on the dimensionality-engineered OIHPs-based X-ray detector, and highlight the open challenges and future outlook of this field.

Abstract
Uncontrolled sunlight entering through windows contributes to substantial heating and cooling demands in buildings, which leads to high energy consumption from the buildings. Recently, perovskite smart windows have emerged as innovative energy-saving technologies, offering the potential to adaptively control indoor solar heat gain through their impressive sunlight modulation capabilities. Moreover, harnessing the high-efficiency photovoltaic properties of perovskite materials, these windows have the potential to generate power, thereby realizing more advanced windows with combined light modulation and energy harvesting capabilities. This review summarizes the recent advancements in various chromic perovskite materials for achieving light modulation, focusing on both perovskite structures and underlying switching mechanisms. The discussion also encompasses device engineering strategies for smart windows, including the improvement of their optical and transition performance, durability, combination with electricity generation, and the evaluation of their energy-saving performance in building applications. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities associated with perovskite smart windows are explicated, aimed at stimulating more academic research and advancing their pragmatic implementation for building energy efficiency and sustainability.

Ghasemi M, Wei Q, Lu J, Yang Y, Hou J, Jia B, Wen X. Can thick metal-halide perovskite single crystals have narrower optical bandgaps with near-infrared absorption?

Abstract
Metal-halide perovskite (MHP) single crystals are emerging as potential competitors to their polycrystalline thin-film counterparts. These materials have shown the specific feature of extended absorbance towards the near-infrared (NIR) region, which promises further extension of their applications in the field of photovoltaics and photodetectors. This notable expansion of absorbance has been explained by the narrower effective optical bandgap of MHP single crystals promoted by their large thickness over several micrometres to millimetres. Herein, the attributes of the material's thickness and the measurement technique used to estimate these characteristics are discussed to elucidate the actual origins of the extended absorbance of MHP single crystals. Contrary to the general belief of the narrower bandgap of the MHP single crystals, we demonstrate that the extended NIR absorption in the MHP single crystals mainly originates from the combination of unique below-bandgap absorption of MHPs, the thickness of single crystals, and the technical limitation of the spectrophotometer, with the key attributes of (i) significantly large thickness of the MHP single crystals by suppressing the transmitted light and (ii) the detector's limited dynamic range. Combining the theoretical and experimental characterizations, we clarify the significant role of the large thickness together with the limited sensitivity of the detector in promoting the well-known red shift of the absorption onset of the MHP single crystals. The observations evidently show that in some special circumstances, the acquired absorption spectrum cannot reliably represent the optical bandgap of MHP materials. This highlights some misinterpretations in the estimation of the narrower optical bandgap of the MHP single crystals from conventional optical methods, while the optical bandgap is an inherent property independent of the thickness. The proposed broad applications of the MHP single crystals are dictated by their fascinating properties, and therefore, a deep insight into these features should be considered besides device applications, because much of their property-function relationships are still ambiguous and a subject of debate.

Abstract
We utilize room-temperature uniaxial pressing at applied loads achievable with low-cost, laboratory-scale presses to fabricate freestanding CH3NH3PbX3 (X- = Br-, Cl-) polycrystalline ceramics with millimeter thicknesses and optical transparency up to ∼70% in the infrared. As-fabricated perovskite ceramics can be produced with desirable form factors (i.e., size, shape, and thickness) and high-quality surfaces without any postprocessing (e.g., cutting or polishing). This method should be broadly applicable to a large swath of metal halide perovskites, not just the compositions shown here. In addition to fabrication, we analyze microstructure-optical property relationships through detailed experiments (e.g., transmission measurements, electron microscopy, X-ray tomography, optical profilometry, etc.) as well as modeling based on Mie theory. The optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of perovskite polycrystalline ceramics are benchmarked against those of single-crystalline analogues through spectroscopic ellipsometry, Hall measurements, and nanoindentation. Finally, γ-ray scintillation from a transparent MAPbBr3 ceramic is demonstrated under irradiation from a 137Cs source. From a broader perspective, scalable methods to produce freestanding polycrystalline lead halide perovskites with comparable properties to their single-crystal counterparts could enable key advancements in the commercial production of perovskite-based technologies (e.g., direct X-ray/γ-ray detectors, scintillators, and nonlinear optics).

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) are a promising class of materials that rival conventional semiconductors in various optoelectronic applications. However, unraveling the precise nature of their low-energy electronic structures continues to pose a significant challenge, primarily due to the absence of clear band measurements. Here, we investigate the low-energy electronic structure of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPI3) using angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy combined with ab initio density functional theory. We successfully visualize the electronic structure of MAPI3 near the bulk valence band maximum by using a laboratory photon source (He Iα, 21.2 eV) at low temperature and explore its fundamental properties. The observed valence band exhibits a highly isotropic and parabolic band characterized by small effective masses of 0.20-0.21 me, without notable spectral signatures associated with a large polaron or the Rashba effect, subjects that are intensely debated in the literature. Concurrently, our spin-resolved measurements directly disprove the giant Rashba scenario previously suggested in a similar perovskite compound by establishing an upper limit for the Rashba parameter (αR) of 0.28 eV Å. Our results unveil the unusually complex nature of the low-energy electronic structure of OIHPs, thereby advancing our fundamental understanding of this important class of materials.

Abstract
The low-toxic and environmentally friendly 2D lead-free perovskite has made significant progress in the exploration of "green" X-ray detectors. However, the gap in detection performance between them and their lead-based analogues remains a matter of concern that cannot be ignored. To reduce this gap, shortening the interlayer spacing to accelerate the migration and collection of X-ray carriers is a promising strategy. Herein, a Dion-Jacobson (DJ) lead-free double perovskite (4-AP)2 AgBiBr8 (1, 4-AP = 4-amidinopyridine) with an ultra-narrow interlayer spacing of 3.0 Å, is constructed by utilizing π-conjugated aromatic spacers. Strikingly, the subsequent enhanced carrier transport and increased crystal density lead to X-ray detectors based on bulk single crystals of 1 with a high sensitivity of 1117.3 µC Gy-1 cm-2 , superior to the vast majority of similar double perovskites. In particular, the tight connection of the inorganic layers by the divalent cations enhances structural rigidity and stability, further endowing 1 detector with ultralow dark current drift (3.06 × 10-8 nA cm-1 s-1 V-1 , 80 V), excellent multiple cycles switching X-ray irradiation stability, as well as long-term environmental stability (maintains over 94% photoresponse after 90 days). This work brings lead-free double perovskites one step closer to realizing efficient practical green applications.

Abstract
Solution-processed lead halide perovskite single crystals (LHPSCs) are believed to have great potential in gamma-ray spectroscopy. However, obtaining low-defect LHPSCs from a solution at low temperatures is difficult compared to obtaining Bridgman single crystals such as CdTe and Si. Herein, noise from the intrinsic defects of LHPSCs is considered as the main problem hindering their gamma-ray detection performance. By isolating the defect-induced holes in LHPSCs via energy barriers, we show that NIN photodiodes based on three types of LHPSCs, i.e., MAPbBr3 (MA = CH3NH3), MAPbBr2.5Cl0.5, and cascade LHPSCs, have demonstrated good energy resolution in the range of 6.7-10.3% for 662 keV 137Cs gamma-ray photons. The noise for >10 mm3 devices is low, in the order of 340-860 electrons, and the electron collection efficiency reaches 23-43%. These results pave the way for obtaining low-cost, large, high energy-resolution gamma-ray detectors at room temperature (300 K).

Abstract
Tunability in electronic and optical properties has been intensively explored for developing conjugated polymers and their applications in organic and perovskite-based electronics. Particularly, the charge carrier mobility of conjugated polymer semiconductors has been deemed to be a vital figure-of-merit for achieving high-performance organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In this study, the systematic hole carrier mobility improvement of benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-based conjugated polymer in perovskite-functionalized organic transistors is demonstrated. In conventional OFETs with a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) gate dielectric, improvements in hole mobility of 0.019 cm2 V-1 s-1 are measured using an off-center spin-coating technique, which exceeds those of on-center counterparts (0.22 ± 0.07 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1). Furthermore, the mobility drastically increases by adopting solid-state electrolyte gating, corresponding to 2.99 ± 1.03 cm2 V-1 s-1 for the control, and the best hole mobility is 8.03 cm2 V-1 s-1 (average ≈ 6.94 ± 0.59 cm2 V-1 s-1) for perovskite-functionalized OFETs with a high current on/off ratio of >106. The achieved device performance would be attributed to the enhanced film crystallinity and charge carrier density in the hybrid perovskite-functionalized organic transistor channel, resulting from the high-capacitance electrolyte dielectric.

Abstract
The present study serves experimental and theoretical analyses in developing a hybrid advanced structure as a photolysis, which is based on electrospun Graphene Oxide-titanium dioxide (GO-TiO2) nanofibers as an electron transfer material (ETMs) functionalized for perovskite solar cell (PVSCs) with GO. The prepared ETMs were utilized for the synthesis of mixed-cation (FAPbI3)0.8(MAPbBr3)0.2. The effect of GO on TiO2 and their chemical structure, electronic and morphological characteristic were investigated and discussed. The elaborated device, namely ITO/Bl-TiO2/3 wt% GO-TiO2/(FAPbI3)0.8(MAPbBr3)0.2/spiro-MeTAD/Pt, displayed 20.14% disposition and conversion solar energy with fill factor (FF) of 1.176%, short circuit current density (Jsc) of 20.56 mA/cm2 and open circuit voltage (VOC) 0.912 V. The obtained efficiency is higher than titanium oxide (18.42%) and other prepared GO-TiO2 composite nanofibers based ETMs. The developed materials and device would facilitate elaboration of advanced functional materials and devices for energy storage applications.

Abstract
High-energy radiation detectors with a good imaging resolution, fast response, and high sensitivity are desired to operate at a high electric field. However, strong ion migration triggered by electrochemical reactions at the interface between a high-potential electrode and an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite limits the stability of radiation detectors under a high electric field. Herein, we demonstrate that such ion migration could be effectively suppressed in devices with a Ti cathode, even at a high electric field of 50 V mm-1, through time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy illustrates that Ti-N bonds formed at the interface of MAPbBr3 perovskite single crystals/Ti electrode effectively inhibit the electrochemical reaction in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite devices and ultimately improve the operating stability under a high electric field. The device with a Ti electrode reaches a high sensitivity of 96 ± 1 mC Gyair-1 cm-2 and a low detection limit of 2.8 ± 0.3 nGy s-1 under hard X-ray energy.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite single crystals are promising for diverse optoelectronic applications. As a universal issue of solution-grown perovskite single crystals, surface contamination causes adverse effect on material properties and device performance. Herein, learning from the self-cleaning effect of lotus leaf, we address the surface contamination issue by introducing an amphiphilic long-chain organic amine into the perovskite crystal growth solution. Self-assembly of CTAC provides a hydrophobic crystal surface, inducing spontaneous removal of residual growth solution, which results in clean surface and better optoelectronic properties of perovskite single crystals. An impressive efficiency of 23.4 % is obtained, setting a new record for FAx MA1-x PbI3 single-crystal perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Moreover, our strategy also applies to perovskite single crystals with different morphology and composition, which may contribute to improvement of other single-crystal perovskite optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
We have measured the flexophotovoltaic effect of single crystals of halide perovskites MAPbBr_{3} and MAPbI_{3}, as well as the benchmark oxide perovskite SrTiO_{3}. For halide perovskites, the flexophotovoltaic effect is found to be orders of magnitude larger than for SrTiO_{3}, and indeed large enough to induce photovoltages bigger than the band gap. Moreover, we find that in MAPbI_{3} the flexophotovoltaic effect is additional to a native bulk photovoltaic response that is switchable and ferroelectric-like. The results suggest that strain gradient engineering can be a powerful tool to modify the photovoltaic output even in already well-established photovoltaic materials.

Abstract
Perovskite materials have attracted significant attention as innovative and efficient X-ray detectors owing to their unique properties compared to traditional X-ray detectors. Herein, chronologically, we present an in-depth analysis of X-ray detection technologies employing organic-inorganic hybrids (OIHs), all-inorganic and lead-free perovskite material-based single crystals (SCs), thin/thick films and wafers. Particularly, this review systematically scrutinizes the advancement of the diverse synthesis methods, structural modifications, and device architectures exploited to enhance the radiation sensing performance. In addition, a critical analysis of the crucial factors affecting the performance of the devices is also provided. Our findings revealed that the improvement from single crystallization techniques dominated the film and wafer growth techniques. The probable reason for this is that SC-based devices display a lower trap density, higher resistivity, large carrier mobility and lifetime compared to film- and wafer-based devices. Ultimately, devices with SCs showed outstanding sensitivity and the lowest detectable dose rate (LDDR). These results are superior to some traditional X-ray detectors such as amorphous selenium and CZT. In addition, the limited performance of film-based devices is attributed to the defect formation in the bulk film, surfaces, and grain boundaries. However, wafer-based devices showed the worst performance because of the formation of voids, which impede the movement of charge carriers. We also observed that by performing structural modification, various research groups achieved high-performance devices together with stability. Finally, by fusing the findings from diverse research works, we provide a valuable resource for researchers in the field of X-ray detection, imaging and materials science. Ultimately, this review will serve as a roadmap for directing the difficulties associated with perovskite materials in X-ray detection and imaging, proposing insights into the recent status, challenges, and promising directions for future research.

Abstract
Despite their excellent environmental stability, low defect density, and high carrier mobility, large-n quasi-two-dimensional halide perovskites (quasi-2DHPs) feature a limited application scope because of the formation of self-assembled multiple quantum wells (QWs) due to the similar thermal stabilities of large-n phases. However, large-n quasi-phase-pure 2DHPs (quasi-PP-2DHPs) can solve this problem perfectly. This review discusses the structures, formation mechanisms, and photoelectronic and physical properties of quasi-PP-2DHPs, summarises the corresponding single crystals, thin films, and heterojunction preparation methods, and presents the related advances. Moreover, we focus on applications of large-n quasi-PP-2DHPs in solar cells, photodetectors, lasers, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors, discuss the challenges and prospects of these emerging photoelectronic materials, and review the potential technological developments in this area.

Abstract
Well-performing organic-inorganic halide perovskites are susceptible to poor efficiency and instability due to their various defects at the interphases, grain boundaries (GBs), and surfaces. In this study, an in situ method is utilized for effectively passivating the under-coordinated Pb2+ defects of perovskite with new non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) (INXBCDT; X = H, Cl, and Br) through their carbonyl and cyano functional groups during the antisolvent dripping process. It reveals that the bicyclopentadithiophene (BCDT) core with highly electron-withdrawing end-capping groups passivates GBs and boosts perovskite grain growth. This effective defect passivation decreases the trap density to increase the carrier recombination lifetime of the perovskite film. As a result, bromo-substituted dicyanomethylene indanone (INBr)-end-capped BCDT (INBrBCDT-b8; 3a)-passivated devices exhibit the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.20% (vs those of 18.09% obtained for perovskite films without passivation) upon an optimized film preparation process. Note that devices treated with more soluble 2-ethylhexyl-substituted compounds (1a, 2a, and 3a) exhibit higher PCE than those treated with less soluble octyl-substituted compounds (1b, 2b, and 3b). It is also worth noting that BCDT is a cost-effective six-ring core that is easier to synthesize with a higher yield and therefore much cheaper than those with highly fused-ring cores. In addition, a long-term stability test in a glovebox for 1500 h reveals that the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on a perovskite absorber treated with compound 3a maintain ∼90% of their initial PCE. This is the first example of the simplest high-conjugation additive for perovskite film to achieve a PCE greater than 22% of the corresponding lead-based PSCs.

Abstract
Here, a facile fabrication approach for the high-quality 1D perovskite triangular nanowire (TNW) array synthesis through space-confined effect is reported. A soft stamp containing 1D triangular linear array pattern is used to confine the MAPbX3 solution and to guide the growth of the nanowires along the prescribed direction with good crystallinity. The further constructed photodetectors based on the obtained MAPbI3 TNWs exhibit superior photoresponse properties with a responsivity of (125.2 ± 2.5) A W-1 and detectivity of (2.8 ± 0.8) × 1013 Jones at the wavelength of 650 nm. This excellent performance is attributed to the highly crystalline TNW with optical anisotropy and a small asymptotic height, which reduces the probability of the photon reflection and promotes the carrier transport. More interestingly, the increased surface area of the triangular device can present superior flexibility after a couple of thousands of bending cycles. Furthermore, by fabricating 7 × 7 photodetector arrays, the potential image sensor application is demonstrated. The perovskite nanowire fabrication approach is scalable and compatible with current semiconductor manufacturing, which indicates their great potential in broad applications.

Abstract
Molecular passivation is a prominent approach for improving the performance and operation stability of halide perovskite solar cells (HPSCs). Herein, we reveal discernible effects of diammonium molecules with either an aryl or alkyl core onto Methylammonium-free perovskites. Piperazine dihydriodide (PZDI), characterized by an alkyl core-electron cloud-rich-NH terminal, proves effective in mitigating surface and bulk defects and modifying surface chemistry or interfacial energy band, ultimately leading to improved carrier extraction. Benefiting from superior PZDI passivation, the device achieves an impressive efficiency of 23.17% (area ~1 cm2) (low open circuit voltage deficit ~0.327 V) along with superior operational stability. We achieve a certified efficiency of ~21.47% (area ~1.024 cm2) for inverted HPSC. PZDI strengthens adhesion to the perovskite via -NH2I and Mulliken charge distribution. Device analysis corroborates that stronger bonding interaction attenuates the defect densities and suppresses ion migration. This work underscores the crucial role of bifunctional molecules with stronger surface adsorption in defect mitigation, setting the stage for the design of charge-regulated molecular passivation to enhance the performance and stability of HPSC.

Abstract
One of the most effective approaches to optimizing the performance of perovskite solar cells is to fully understand the ultrafast carrier dynamics at the interfaces between absorber and transporting layers at both the molecular and atomic levels. Here, the injection dynamics of hot and relaxed charge carriers at the interface between the hybrid perovskite, formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3), and the organic electron acceptor, IEICO-4F, are investigated and deciphered by using femtosecond (fs) mid-infrared (IR), transient absorption (TA), and fluorescence spectroscopies. The visible femtosecond-TA measurements reveal the generation of hot carriers and their transition to free carriers in the pure FAPbBr3 film. Meanwhile, the efficient extraction of hot carriers in the mixed FAPbBr3/IEICO-4F film is clearly evidenced by the complete disappearance of their spectral signature. More specifically, the time-resolved results reveal that hot carriers are injected from FAPbBr3 to IEICO-4F within 150 fs, while the transfer time for the relaxed carriers is about 205 fs. The time-resolved mid-IR experiments also demonstrate the ultrafast formation of two peaks at 2115 and 2233 cm-1, which can be attributed to the C≡N symmetrical and asymmetrical vibrational modes of anionic IEICO-4F, thus providing crystal clear evidence for the electron transfer process between the donor and acceptor units. Moreover, photoluminescence (PL) lifetime measurements reveal an approximately 10-fold decrease in the donor lifetime in the presence of IEICO-4F, thereby confirming the efficient electron injection from the perovskite to the acceptor unit. In addition, the efficient electron injection at the FAPbBr3/IEICO-4F interface and its impact on the C≡N bond character are experimentally evidenced and align with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work offers new insights into the electron injection process at the FAPbBr3/IEICO-4F interface, which is crucial for developing efficient optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
This study offers an extensive exploration into approaches for cultivating CsPbBr3 SCs using inverse temperature crystallization (ITC), with a specific focus on seed-induced (method (1)) and nucleation-mediated (method (2)) growth techniques. Our findings reveal that leveraging seed-assisted growth at lower temperatures yields noteworthy enhancements in the material's optical and electrical behaviors, outperforming the outcomes achieved through nucleation-driven growth. Concretely, through the employment of the space charge limited current (SCLC) technique, an evident contrast emerges in the trap-populated threshold voltage between the seed-facilitated crystal (SC1) (measuring 0.309 V) and its nucleation-facilitated counterpart (SC2) (measuring 1.513 V), consequently giving rise to discernable dissimilarities in trap density assessments. Evidence from temperature-dependent analysis of space charge limited currents substantiates these findings, revealing trap density values of 8.81 × 109 cm-3 for SC1, juxtaposed with 2.08 × 1010 cm-3 for SC2. Additionally, the SC1 displays a notably diminished trap energy level. Furthermore, the investigation underscores the affirmative influence of method (1) at lower temperatures on the optical and crystalline characteristics of the substance. This effect is evidenced by enhanced photoluminescence (PL) reactions and reduced lattice strain (Ls), as determined through X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Moreover, the research establishes the substantial impact of this enhanced crystallization technique on the photodetector (PD) attributes of the crystal. This effect induces elevated levels of detectivity and responsivity for method (1).

Abstract
Metal halide-perovskite-based photodetectors have recently emerged as a class of promising optoelectronic devices in various fields. Meanwhile, nano/microstructuring perovskite-based photodetectors are a facile integration with complementary metal-oxide semiconductors for miniaturized imaging systems. However, there are still challenges to be overcome in reducing the losses caused by light reflection on the surface of microstructural perovskites. In this work, surface microstructure engineering is employed in MAPbBr3 microsheets for reducing light reflection and improving light absorption, resulting in high-performance perovskite photodetectors. MAPbBr3 microsheets, which possess different surface morphologies of flat, upright hemisphere arrays and inverted hemisphere arrays (IHAs), are fabricated by a simple microstructure template-assisted space confinement process. The light absorption capacity of IHA MAPbBr3 is significantly higher than that of the other two structures. Hence, IHA photodetectors with excellent figures of merit, including low dark current, decent responsivity, and fast speed, are achieved. Furthermore, the noise of the IHA photodetectors is only ∼10-13 A/H z , which results in the superior sensitivity for weak light detection with a specific detectivity up to 1011 Jones. Our results demonstrate that surface engineering is a simple, low-cost, yet effective approach to improve the performance of nano-/micro-optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid halides and their analogs that exhibit efficient broadband emission from self-trapped excitons (STEs) offers an unique pathway towards realization of highly efficient white light sources for lighting applications. An appropriate dilution of ns2 ions into a halide host is essential to produce auxiliary emissions. However, the realization of ns2 cation-based halides phosphor that can be excited by blue light-emitting diode (LED) is still rarely reported. In this study, a zero-dimensional Te-based single crystal (C8H20N)2TeCl6 was synthesized, which exhibits a yellow-orange emission centered at 600 nm with a full width at half maximum of 130 nm upon excitation under 437 nm. Intense electron-phonon coupling was confirmed in the (C8H20N)2TeCl6 single crystal and the light emitting mechanism is comprehensively discussed. The results of this study are pertinent to the emissive mechanism of Te-based hybrid halides and can facilitate discovery of unidentified metal halides with broadband excitation features.

Abstract
The fabrication of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) involves the addition of methylammonium chloride (MACl) to promote low-temperature α-phase formation and grain growth. However, as the added MACl deprotonates and volatilizes into methylamine (MA0) and HCl for removal, MA0 can chemically interact with formamidinium (FA+), forming methyl formamidinium (MFA+) as a byproduct. Despite its significance, the chemical interactions among FAPbI3 perovskites, MACl additives, and their byproducts remain poorly understood. Our findings reveal that the FA+ and MA0 reaction primarily yields a mixture of cis/trans-N-methyl formamidinium iodide (MFAI) isomers, with cis-MFAI prevailing as the dominant species. Moreover, MFAI subsequently reacts with PbI2 to yield fully formed cis-MFAPbI3 2H-phase perovskite. We elucidated the effects of MFAI on the crystal growth, phase stability, and band gap of formamidine-based perovskites through the growth of single crystals. This research offers valuable insights into the role of these byproducts in influencing the efficiency and long-term stability of future PSCs.

Abstract
Sensitive thermometry or thermography by responding to blackbody radiation is urgently desired in the intelligent information life, including scientific research, medical diagnosis, remote sensing, defense, etc. Even though thermography techniques based on infrared sensing have undergone unprecedented development, the poor compatibility with common optical components and the high diffraction limit impose an impediment to their integration into the established photonic integrated circuit or the realization of high-spatial-resolution and high-thermal-resolution imaging. In this work, we present a sensitive temperature-dependent visible photon detection in Bi-doped MAPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) and employ it for uncooled thermography. Systematic measurements reveal that the Bi dopant introduces trap states in MAPbX3, thermal energy facilitates the carriers jumping from trap states to the conduction band, while the vacancies of trap states ensure the sequential absorption of visible photons with energy less than the band gap. Subsequently, the change of response toward the visible photon is applied to construct the thermograph, and it possesses a specific sensitivity of 2.11% K-1 along temperature variation. As a result, our thermograph presents a temperature resolution of 0.21 nA K-1, a high responsivity of 2.06 mA W-1, and a high detectivity of 2.08 × 109 Jones at room temperature. Furthermore, remote thermal imaging is successfully achieved with our thermograph.

Abstract
Comprehensive understanding and precise manipulation of the crystallization process for organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials are crucial for advancing perovskite single-crystal optoelectronic technology. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigated the influence of interface tension on the synthesis of perovskite single crystals. On the basis of the understanding of the nucleation and growth mechanisms, we developed a polydimethylsiloxane-assisted temperature-gradient growth technique to prepare high-quality MAPbBr3 single crystals. Using this technique, we harvested some high-quality MAPbBr3 single crystals, with the narrowest reported full width at half-maximum (0.00806°) of X-ray diffraction rocking curve, the longest carrier lifetime of 1002 ns, and an ultralow trap-state density of 4.25 × 109 cm-3. Furthermore, the X-ray detector fabricated using our MAPbBr3 single crystal exhibited a high sensitivity of 7275 μC Gy1- cm2 and a low minimum detection limit of 0.67 μGy s-1. This paper presents a novel method to control the crystallization and growth processes of high-quality perovskite single crystals.

Abstract
The application of X-ray imaging in military, industrial flaw detection, and medical examination is inseparable from the wide application of scintillator materials. In order to substitute for lead, lower costs, and reduce self-absorption, organic-inorganic hybrid lead-free perovskite scintillators are emerging as a new option. In this work, novel (TEA)2Zr1-xTexCl6 perovskite microcrystals (MCs) were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method, with Te4+ doping, which leads to yellow triplet-state self-trapped excitons emission. The emission peak of (TEA)2Zr1-xTexCl6 located at 605 nm under X-ray excitation, which was applied to X-ray imaging, shows a clear wiring structure inside the USB connector. The detection limit (DL) of 820 nGyair/s for (TEA)2Zr0.9Te0.1Cl6 is well below the dose rate corresponding to a standard medical X-ray diagnosis is 5.5 μGyair/s. This work opens up a new path for organic-inorganic hybrid lead-free scintillators.

Abstract
Organometal halide perovskites have achieved great success in solution-processed photovoltaics. The explorations quickly expanded into other optoelectronic applications, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, and photodetectors. An in-depth analysis of the special scale effects is essential to understand the working mechanisms of devices and optimize the materials towards an enhanced performance. Generally speaking, organometal halide perovskites can be classified in two ways. By controlling the morphological dimensionality, 2D perovskite nanoplatelets, 1D perovskite nanowires, and 0D perovskite quantum dots have been studied. Using appropriate organic and inorganic components, low-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halide hybrids with 2D, quasi-2D, 1D, and 0D structures at the molecular level have been developed and studied. This provides opportunities to investigate the scale-dependent properties. Here, we present the progress on the characteristics of scale effects in organometal halide perovskites in these two classifications, with a focus on carrier diffusion, excitonic features, and defect properties.

Abstract
The family of metal-free molecular perovskites, an emerging novel class of eco-friendly semiconductor, welcomes a new member with a unique 1D hexagonal perovskite structure. Lowering dimensionality at molecular level is a facile strategy for crystal structure conversion, optoelectronic property regulation, and device performance optimization. Herein, the study reports the design, synthesis, packing structure, and photophysical properties of the 1D metal-free molecular perovskite-related single crystal, rac-3APD-NH4 I3 (rac-3APD= racemic-3-Aminopiperidinium), that features a quantum wire structure formed by infinite chains of face-sharing NH4 I6 octahedra, enabling strong quantum confinement with strongly self-trapped excited (STE) states to give efficient warm orange emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) as high as ≈41.6%. The study accordingly unveils its photoexcited carrier dynamics: rac-3APD-NH4 I3 relaxes to STE state with a short lifetime of 10 ps but decays to ground state by emitting photons with a relatively longer lifetime of 560 ps. Additionally, strong quantum confinement effect is conducive to charge transport along the octahedral channels that enables the co-planar single-crystal X-ray detectors to achieve a sensitivity as high as 1556 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 . This work demonstrates the first case of photoluminescence mechanism and photophysical dynamics of 1D metal-free perovskite-related semiconductor, as well as the promise for high-performance X-ray detector.

Abstract
Halide hybrid perovskites are a kind of intriguing contenders for X-ray detection, and their low detection limits (LoDs) have played a crucial part in X-ray safety inspection and medical examination. However, there is still a significant challenge in manufacturing perovskite X-ray detectors with low LoDs. Herein, attributed to the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) of a Dion-Jacobson (DJ) type 2D halide hybrid perovskite polar structure (3-methylaminopropylamine)PbBr4 (1), self-powered X-ray detection with low detection limit is successfully realized. Specifically, the crystal-based detector of 1 exhibits a low dark current at zero bias, which reduces the noise current (0.34 pA), leading to a low detection limit (58.3 nGyair s-1 ) which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of under external voltage bias. The combination of BPVE and LoDs of halide hybrid perovskite provides an efficient strategy to achieve passive X-ray detection with low doses.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are ideal for next-generation optical devices and photovoltaics. Although perovskite single-crystals show reproducible optoelectronic properties, significant variations in the crystal size, anisotropy, density, defects, photoluminescence (PL), and carrier lifetime affect the sample properties and device performances. Homogenous size and shape FA/MAPbBr3 single microcrystals (MCs) with controlled edge lengths, crystal densities, PL lifetimes, and PL intensities are prepared by thermodynamically controlling and kinetically separating the crystal nucleation-growth processes using optimum N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone (CHP) concentration. The crystal growth kinetics at different CHP concentrations and temperatures are estimated spectroscopically by measuring the concentration of Pb (II). High-density cubic MCs with a homogenous size distribution, high PL intensities, and long PL lifetimes are obtained within minutes at high temperatures by the controlled addition of the pyrrolidone derivative. Conversely, the crystal size nonlinearly increases with time at low temperatures. The isotropically grown high-density single crystals at controlled nucleation-growth rates at 190 °C with 20% CHP show the highest PL intensity and the longest PL lifetimes. This method offers thermodynamic and kinetic control of perovskite single-crystal growth with shape control.

Abstract
Although their zero- to two-dimensional counterparts are well known, three-dimensional chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite single crystals have remained difficult because they contain no chiral components and their crystal phases belong to centrosymmetric achiral point groups. Here we report a general approach to grow single-crystalline 3D lead halide perovskites with chiroptical activity. Taking MAPbBr3 (MA, methylammonium) perovskite as a representative example, whereas achiral MAPbBr3 crystallized from precursors in solution by inverse temperature crystallization method, the addition of micro- or nanoparticles as nucleating agents promoted the formation of chiral crystals under a near equilibrium state. Experimental characterization supported by calculations showed that the chirality of the 3D APbX3 (where A is an ammonium ion and X is Cl, Br or mixed Cl-Br or Br-I) perovskites arises from chiral patterns of the A-site cations and their interaction with the [PbX6]4- octahedra in the perovskite structure. The chiral structure obeys the lowest-energy principle and thereby thermodynamically stable. The chiral 3D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites served in a circularly polarized light photodetector prototype successfully.

Abstract
Halide lead perovskites have shown great development in recent years for ionizing radiation detection. However, the bias-induced interfacial electrochemical reaction between the perovskite and electrode severely deteriorates detector performance. We report that BCP strongly interacts with Al and constructs a stable Al-BCP chelating interface, resulting in the suppression of a detrimental electrochemical reaction. The fabricated Au/Al/BCP/C60/CsPbBr3/Au detector shows a low dark current of 3 nA with a stable baseline at an extremely high bias of 100 V (∼100 V mm-1). The superior high-bias stability enables a high sensitivity of 7.3 × 104 μC Gyair-1 cm-2 at 100 V. Meanwhile, a low detection limit of 15 nGyair s-1 at 40 V is achieved due to the reduced noise. The outstanding performance of our device exceeds that of most advanced detectors based on CsPbBr3 single crystals. Besides, X-ray imaging with 1 mm spatial resolution is well demonstrated at a low dose rate of 200 nGyair s-1. The interfacial chelating strategy overcomes the technical limitation of bias-induced instability of perovskite radiation detectors and can be anticipated to operate under an extremely high electrical field.

Abstract
The surface quality of lead halide perovskite crystals can extremely influence their optoelectronic properties and device performance. Here, we report a surface engineering crystallization technique in which we in situ grow a polycrystalline methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) film on top of bulk mm-sized single crystals. Such MAPbBr3 crystals with a MAPbBr3 passivating film display intense green emission under UV light. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates that these crystals with emissive surfaces are compositionally different from typical MAPbBr3 crystals that show no emission under UV light. Time-resolved photoluminescence and electrical measurements indicate that the MAPbBr3 film/MAPbBr3 crystals possess less surface defects compared to the bare MAPbBr3 crystals. Therefore, X-ray detectors fabricated using the surface-engineered MAPbBr3 crystals provide an almost 5 times improved sensitivity to X-rays and a more stable baseline drift with respect to the typical MAPbBr3 crystals.

Abstract
The structural stability and internal properties of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have been widely investigated over the past few years. The interplay between organic cations and inorganic framework is one of the prominent features. Herein we report the evolution of Raman modes under pressure in the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite MAPbI[Formula: see text] by combining the experimental approach with the first-principles calculations. A bulk MAPbI[Formula: see text] single crystal was synthesized via inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) technique and characterized by Raman spectroscopy, while the diamond anvil cells (DACs) was employed to compress the sample. The classification and behaviours of their Raman modes are presented. At ambient pressure, the vibrations of inorganic PbI[Formula: see text] octahedra and organic MA dominate at a low-frequency range (60-760 cm[Formula: see text]) and a fingerprint range (900-1500 cm[Formula: see text]), respectively. The applied pressure exhibits two significant changes in the Raman spectrum and indicates of phase transition. The results obtained from both experiment and calculations of the second phase at 3.26 GPa reveal that the internal vibration intensity of the PbI[Formula: see text] octahedra (< 110 cm[Formula: see text]) reduces as absences of MA libration (150-270 cm[Formula: see text]) and internal vibration of MA (450-750 cm[Formula: see text]). Furthermore, the hydrogen interactions around 1300 cm[Formula: see text] remain strong high pressure up to 5.34 GPa.

Abstract
In this study, a series of highly efficient organic hole-transporting materials (HTMs) were designed using Schiff base chemistry by modifying a phenothiazine-based core with triphenylamine through end-capped acceptor engineering via thiophene linkers. The designed HTMs (AZO1-AZO5) exhibited superior planarity and greater attractive forces, making them ideal for accelerated hole mobility. They also showed deeper HOMO energy levels (-5.41 eV to -5.28 eV) and smaller energy band gaps (2.22 eV to 2.72 eV), which improved charge transport behavior, open-circuit current, fill factor, and power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The dipole moments and solvation energies of the HTMs revealed their high solubility, making them suitable for the fabrication of multilayered films. The designed HTMs showed tremendous enhancements in power conversion efficiency (26.19 % to 28.76 %) and open-circuit voltage (1.43 V to 1.56 V), with higher absorption wavelength than the reference molecule (14.43 %). Overall, the Schiff base chemistry-driven design of thiophene-bridged end-capped acceptor HTMs is highly effective in enhancing the optical and electronic properties of perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
Ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMS) enable simultaneous control of both charge and spin transport of charge carriers, and they have emerged as a class of highly desirable but rare materials for applications in spin field-effect transistors and quantum computing. Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites with high compositional adjustability and structural versatility can offer unique benefits in the design of FMS but has not been fully explored. Here, a series of molecular FMSs based on the 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite structure, namely (2ampy)CuCl4 , (3ampy)CuCl4 , and (4ampy)CuCl4 , is demonstrated, which exhibits high saturation magnetization, dramatic temperature-dependent conductivity change, and tunable ferromagnetic resonance. Magnetic measurements reveal a high saturation magnetization up to 18.56 emu g-1 for (4ampy)CuCl4 , which is one of the highest value among reported hybrid FMSs to date. Conductivity studies of the three FMSs demonstrate that the smaller adjacent octahedron distance in the 2D layer results in higher conductivity. Systematic ferromagnetic resonance investigation shows that the gyromagnetic ratio and Landau factor values are strongly dependent on the types of organic cations used. This work demonstrates that 2D hybrid perovskite materials can simultaneously possess both tunable long-range ferromagnetic ordering and semiconductivity, providing a straightforward strategy for designing and synthesizing high-performance intrinsic FMSs.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have shown great promise in a wide range of optoelectronic applications. However, this performance is inhibited by the sensitivity of HOIPs to various environmental factors, particularly high levels of relative humidity. This study uses X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine that there is essentially no threshold to water adsorption on the in situ cleaved MAPbBr3 (001) single crystal surface. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it shows that the initial surface restructuring upon exposure to water vapor occurs in isolated regions, which grow in area with increasing exposure, providing insight into the initial degradation mechanism of HOIPs. The electronic structure evolution of the surface was also monitored via ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS), evidencing an increased bandgap state density following water vapor exposure, which is attributed to surface defect formation due to lattice swelling. This study will help to inform the surface engineering and designs of future perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Many devices heavily rely on combinatorial material optimization. However, new material alloys are classically developed by studying only a fraction of giant chemical space, while many intermediate compositions remain unmade in light of the lack of methods to synthesize gapless material libraries. Here report a high-throughput all-in-one material platform to obtain and study compositionally-tunable alloys from solution is reported. This strategy is applied to make all Csx MAy FAz PbI3 perovskite alloys (MA and FA stand for methylammonium and formamidinium, respectively), in less than 10 min, on a single film, on which 520 unique alloys are then studied. Through stability mapping of all these alloys in air supersaturated with moisture, a range of targeted perovskites are found, which are then chosen to make efficient and stable solar cells in relaxed fabrication conditions, in ambient air. This all-in-one platform provides access to an unprecedented library of compositional space with no unmade alloys, and hence aids in a comprehensive accelerated discovery of efficient energy materials.

Abstract
Perovskite-based photodetectors exhibit potential applications in communication, neuromorphic chips, and biomedical imaging due to their outstanding photoelectric properties and facile manufacturability. However, few of perovskite-based photodetectors focus on ultraviolet-visible-short-wavelength infrared (UV-Vis-SWIR) broadband photodetection because of the relatively large bandgap. Moreover, such broadband photodetectors with individual nanocrystal channel featuring monolithic integration with functional electronic/optical components have hardly been explored. Herein, an individual monocrystalline MAPbBr3 nanoplate-based photodetector is demonstrated that simultaneously achieves efficient UV-Vis-SWIR detection and fast-response. Nanoplate photodetectors (NPDs) are prepared by assembling single nanoplate on adjacent gold electrodes. NPDs exhibit high external quantum efficiency (EQE) and detectivity of 1200% and 5.37 × 1012 Jones, as well as fast response with rise time of 80 µs. Notably, NPDs simultaneously achieve high EQE and fast response, exceeding most perovskite devices with multi-nanocrystal channel. Benefiting from the high specific surface area of nanoplate with surface-trap-assisted absorption, NPDs achieve high performance in the near-infrared and SWIR spectral region of 850-1450 nm. Unencapsulated devices show outstanding UV-laser-irradiation endurance and decent periodicity and repeatability after 29-day-storage in atmospheric environment. Finally, imaging applications are demonstrated. This work verifies the potential of perovskite-based broadband photodetection, and stimulates the monolithic integration of various perovskite-based devices.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite based materials have emerged over the past few decades as remarkable solution-processable optoelectronic materials with many intriguing properties and potential applications. These emerging materials have recently been considered for their promise in low-energy memory and information processing applications. In particular, their large optical cross-sections, high photoconductance contrast, large carrier-diffusion lengths, and mixed electronic/ionic transport mechanisms are attractive for enabling memory elements and neuromorphic devices that are written and/or read in the optical domain. Here, recent progress toward memory and neuromorphic functionality in metal halide perovskite materials and devices where photons are used as a critical degree of freedom for switching, memory, and neuromorphic functionality is reviewed.

Abstract
The exceptional optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are presumed to arise, at least in part, from the peculiar interplay between the inorganic metal-halide sublattice and the atomic or molecular cations enclosed in the cage voids. The latter can exhibit a roto-translative dynamics, which is shown here to be at the origin of the structural behavior of MHPs as a function of temperature, pressure and composition. The application of high hydrostatic pressure allows for unraveling the nature of the interaction between both sublattices, characterized by the simultaneous action of hydrogen bonding and steric hindrance. In particular, we find that under the conditions of unleashed cation dynamics, the key factor that determines the structural stability of MHPs is the repulsive steric interaction rather than hydrogen bonding. Taking as example the results from pressure and temperature-dependent photoluminescence and Raman experiments on MAPbBr[Formula: see text] but also considering the pertinent MHP literature, we provide a general picture about the relationship between the crystal structure and the presence or absence of cationic dynamic disorder. The reason for the structural sequences observed in MHPs with increasing temperature, pressure, A-site cation size or decreasing halide ionic radius is found principally in the strengthening of the dynamic steric interaction with the increase of the dynamic disorder. In this way, we have deepened our fundamental understanding of MHPs; knowledge that could be coined to improve performance in future optoelectronic devices based on this promising class of semiconductors.

Abstract
Industrial commercialization of perovskite solar cells not only depends on sufficient device performance, but also requires complete elimination of hazardous solvents in the fabrication process to enable sustainable development of the technology. This work reports a new solvent system based on sulfolane, [Formula: see text]-butyrolactone (GBL), and acetic acid (AcOH) as a significantly greener alternative to common but more hazardous solvents. Interestingly, this solvent system not only resulted in densely-packed perovskite layer of bigger crystal size and better crystallinity, the grain boundaries were found to be more rigid and highly conductive to electrical current. The physical changes at the grain boundaries were due to the sulfolane-infused crystal interfaces, which were expected to facilitate better charge transfer and provide stronger barrier to moisture within the perovskite layer, yielding higher current density and longer performance of the device as a result. In fact, by using a mixed solvent system consisting of sulfolane, GBL, and AcOH in the volume ratio of 70.0:27.5:2.5, the device stability was better and the photovoltaic performance was statistically comparable with those prepared using DMSO-based solvent. Our report reflects unprecedented findings of enhanced electrical conductivity and rigidity of the perovskite layer simply by using an appropriate choice of the all-green solvent.
