Abstract
Combining halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material is challenging when the QDs' size is larger than the MOFs' nanopores. Here, we adopted a simple defect engineering approach to increase the size of zeolitic imidazolate framework 90 (ZIF-90)'s pores size to better load CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite QDs. This defect structure effect can be easily achieved by adjusting the metal-to-ligand ratio throughout the ZIF-90 synthesis process. The QDs are then grown in the defective structure, resulting in a hybrid ZIF-90-perovskite (ZP) composite. The QDs in ZP composites occupied the gap of 10-18 nm defective ZIF-90 crystal and interestingly isolated the QDs with high stability in aqueous solution. We also investigated the relationship between defect engineering and fluorescence sensing, finding that the aqueous Cu2+ ion concentration was directly correlated to defective ZIF-90 and ZP composites. We also found that the role of the O-Cu coordination bonds and CH3NHCu+ species formation in the materials when they reacted with Cu2+ was responsible for this relationship. Finally, this strategy was successful in developing Cu2+ ion fluorescence sensing in water with better selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Heterojunction semiconductors have been extensively applied in various optoelectronic devices due to their unique carrier transport characteristics. However, it is still a challenge to construct heterojunctions based on colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) due to stress and lattice mismatch. Herein, HgSe/CsPbBrxI3-x heterojunctions with type I band alignment are acquired that are derived from minor lattice mismatch (~1.5%) via tuning the ratio of Br and I in halide perovskite. Meanwhile, HgSe CQDs with oleylamine ligands can been exchanged with a halide perovskite precursor, acquiring a smooth and compact quantum dot film. The photoconductive detector based on HgSe/CsPbBrxI3-x heterojunction presents a distinct photoelectric response under an incident light of 630 nm. The work provides a promising strategy to construct CQD-based heterojunctions, simultaneously achieving inorganic ligand exchange, which paves the way to obtain high-performance photodetectors based on CQD heterojunction films.

Abstract
Time-resolved or time-correlation measurements using cathodoluminescence (CL) reveal the electronic and optical properties of semiconductors, such as their carrier lifetimes, at the nanoscale. However, halide perovskites, which are promising optoelectronic materials, exhibit significantly different decay dynamics in their CL and photoluminescence (PL). We conducted time-correlation CL measurements of CsPbBr3 using Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry and compared them with time-resolved PL. The measured CL decay time was on the order of subnanoseconds and was faster than PL decay at an excited carrier density of 2.1 × 1018 cm-3. Our experiment and analytical model revealed the CL dynamics induced by individual electron incidences, which are characterized by highly localized carrier generation followed by a rapid decrease in carrier density due to diffusion. This carrier diffusion can play a dominant role in the CL decay time for undoped semiconductors, in general, when the diffusion dynamics are faster than the carrier recombination.

Abstract
Dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) have attracted much attention because of their potential use in spintronic devices. Here, we demonstrate the observation of robust ferromagnetism in a solution-processable halide perovskite semiconductor with dilute magnetic ions. By codoping of magnetic (Fe2+) and aliovalent (Bi3+) metal ions into CH3NH3PbCl3 (MAPbCl3) perovskite, ferromagnetism with well-saturated magnetic hysteresis loops and a maximum coercivity field of 1280 Oe was observed below 12 K. The ferromagnetic resonance measurements revealed that the incorporation of aliovalent ions modulates the carrier concentration and plays an essential role in realizing the ferromagnetism in dilute magnetic halide perovskites. Magnetic ions are proposed to interact through itinerant charge carriers to achieve ferromagnetic coupling. Our work provides a new avenue for the development of solution-processable magnetic semiconductors.

Abstract
High-performance solution-processed perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have emerged as a good alternative to the well-established technology of epitaxially grown AIIIBV semiconductor alloys. Colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbX3 NCs) exhibit room-temperature excitonic emission that can be spectrally tuned across the entire visible range by varying the content of different halogens at the X-site. Therefore, they present a promising platform for full color display manufacturing. Engineering of highly efficient PeLEDs based on bromide and iodide perovskite NCs emitting green and red light, respectively, does not face major challenges except low operational stability of the devices. Meanwhile, mixed-halide counterparts demonstrating blue luminescence suffer from the electric field-induced phase separation (ion segregation) phenomenon described by the rearrangement (demixing) of mobile halide ions in the crystal lattice. This phenomenon results in an undesirable temporal redshift of the electroluminescence spectrum. However, to realize spectral tuning and, at the same time, address the issue of ion segregation less mobile Cd2+ ion could be introduced in the lattice at Pb2+-site that leads to the band gap opening. Herein, we report an original synthesis of CsPb0.88Cd0.12Br3 perovskite NCs and study their structural and optical properties, in particular electroluminescence. Multilayer PeLEDs based on the obtained NCs exhibit single-peak emission centered at 485 nm along with no noticeable change in the spectral line shape for 30 min which is a significant improvement of the device performance.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals have important applications in optoelectronics areas due to their ability to modulate and polarize light. Despite increasing discovery of the birefringence potential of new crystals, it remains a great challenge to optimize both birefringence and bandgap simultaneously. Herein, a 1D chain-like hybrid perovskite birefringent crystal designed by 3D-to-1D dimensional tailoring, (GAM)2 PbI7 ·H2 O (GAM = C5 N10 H10 ), is presented, showing enlarged birefringence of 0.49@550 nm and enlarged optical bandgap (2.48 eV). Consequently, the birefringent quality factor of (GAM)2 PbI7 ·H2 O is up to 2.8 times that of the template MAPbI3 . In particular, the birefringence is much larger than those of commercial birefringent crystals and surpasses that of the vast majority of hybrid perovskite known to date. Theoretical calculations reveal that the strongly anisotropic arrangement of (GAM)2.5+ π-conjugated cations and ordered PbI6 octahedra contributes to the large birefringence and wide bandgap of (GAM)2 PbI7 ·H2 O. It is believed that this work will provide a new pathway toward the rational design and synthesis of hybrid perovskite birefringent crystals for compact wide-bandgap polarization dependent devices.

Abstract
For several decades, the development of potential flexible electronics, such as electronic skin, wearable technology, environmental monitoring systems, and the internet of Things network, has been emphasized. In this context, piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are highly regarded due to their simple design, high output performance, and cost-effectiveness. On a smaller scale, self-powered sensor research and development based on piezo-triboelectric hybrid nanogenerators have lately become more popular. When a material in the TENG is a piezoelectric material, these two distinct effects can be coupled. Herein, we developed a multimode hybrid piezo-triboelectric nanogenerator using the CsPbI3-PVDF composite. The addition of CsPbI3 to PVDF significantly enhances its electroactive phase and dielectric property, thereby enhancing its surface charge density. 5 wt % CsPbI3 incorporation in poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) results in a high electroactive phase (FEA) value of >90%. Moreover, CsPbI3-PVDF composite-based PENGs were fabricated in three modes, viz., nanogenerators in contact-separation mode (TECS), single electrode mode (TESE), and sliding mode (TES), and the output performance of all the devices was investigated. The fabricated TECS, TESE, and TES reveal peak output powers of 3.08, 1.29, and 0.15 mW at an external load of 5.6 MΩ. Through analysis of the contact angle measurement and experimental quantification, the hydrophilicity of the composite film has been identified. The hydrophobicity and moisture absorption capacity of CsPbI3-PVDF film make it an attractive option for self-powered humidity monitoring. The TENGs effectively powered several low-powered electronic devices with just a few human finger taps. This study offers a high-performance PTENG device that is reliant on ambient humidity, which is a helpful step toward creating a self-powered sensor.

Abstract
Artificial vision systems (AVS) have potential applications in visual prosthetics and artificially intelligent robotics, and they require a preprocessor and a processor to mimic human vision. Halide perovskite (HP) is a promising preprocessor and processor due to its excellent photoresponse, ubiquitous charge migration pathways, and innate hysteresis. However, the material instability associated with HP thin films hinders their utilization in physical AVSs. Herein, we have developed ultrahigh-density arrays of robust HP nanowires (NWs) rooted in a porous alumina membrane (PAM) as the active layer for an AVS. The NW devices exhibit gradual photocurrent change, responding to changes in light pulse duration, intensity, and number, and allow contrast enhancement of visual inputs with a device lifetime of over 5 months. The NW-based processor possesses temporally stable conductance states with retention >105 s and jitter <10%. The physical AVS demonstrated 100% accuracy in recognizing different shapes, establishing HP as a reliable material for neuromorphic vision systems.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are crystalline semiconductors with exceptional optoelectronic properties, rapidly developing toward large-scale applications. Lead (II) (Pb2+ ) is the core element used to prepare halide perovskites. Pb2+ can displace key 2+ elements, including calcium, zinc and iron, that regulate vital physiological functions. Sn2+ can replace Pb2+ within the perovskite structure and, if accidentally dispersed in the environment, it readily oxidizes to Sn4+ , which is compatible with physiological functions and thus potentially safe. The 3+ salt bismuth (III) (Bi3+ ) is also potentially safe for the same reason and useful to prepare double perovskites. Here, this work studies the biotoxicity of Pb, Sn, and Bi perovskites in mice for the first time. This work analyses histopathology and growth of mice directly exposed to perovskites and investigate the development of their offspring generation. This study provides the screening of organs and key physiological functions targeted by perovskite exposure to design specific studies in mammalians.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite single crystals (MHP-SCs) are known for their facile fabrication into large sizes using inexpensive solution methods. Owing to their combination of large mobility-lifetime products and strong X-ray absorption, they are considered promising materials for efficient X-ray detection. However, they suffer from large dark currents and severe ion migration, which limit their sensitivity and stability in critical X-ray detection applications. Herein, a heterointerface design is proposed to reduce both the dark current and ion migration by forming a heterojunction. In addition, the carrier transport performance is significantly improved using heterointerface engineering by designing a gradient band structure in the SCs. The SC heterojunction detectors exhibit a high sensitivity of 3.98 × 105 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 with a low detection limit of 12.2 nGyair s-1 and a high spatial resolution of 10.2 lp mm-1 during imaging. These values are among the highest reported for state-of-the-art MHP X-ray detectors. Moreover, the detectors show excellent stability under continuous X-ray irradiation and maintainclear X-ray imaging after 240 d. This study provides novel insights into the design and fabrication of X-ray detectors with high detection efficiency and stability, which are beneficial for developing inexpensive, high-resolution X-ray imaging equipment.

Abstract
Rational design is an important approach to consider in the development of low-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs). In this study, 1-butyl-1-methyl pyrrolidinium (BMP), 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole (API), and 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium (BMI) serve as prototypical ionic liquid components in bismuth-based HOIPs. Element-sensitive X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements of BMPBiBr4 and APIBiBr5 reveal distinct resonant excitation profiles across the N K-edges, where contrasting peak shifts are observed. These 1D-HOIPs exhibit a large Stokes shift due to the small polaron contribution, as probed by photoluminescence spectroscopy at room temperature. Interestingly, the incorporation of a small fraction of tin (Sn) into the APIBiBr5 (Sn/Bi mole ratio of 1:3) structure demonstrates a strong spectral weight transfer accompanied by a fast decay lifetime (2.6 ns). These phenomena are the direct result of Sn-substitution in APIBiBr5, decreasing the small polaron effect. By changing the active ionic liquid, the electronic interactions and optical responses can be moderately tuned by alteration of their intermolecular interaction between the semiconducting inorganic layers and organic moieties.

Abstract
The performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is governed by the quality of perovskite films, whereby compact, pinhole-free perovskite films are desired, in addition to its composition. We have demonstrated probe sonication as a processing technique to provide positive feedback for enhancing the perovskite film quality and photovoltaic parameters, with two systems, CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) and Cs0.17FA0.83Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3. In probe sonication, the ultrasound results in the formation, growth, and collapse of the bubbles through shock wave inside the gas phase of the collapsing bubble. This phenomenon has a chemical impact on the nucleation of the perovskite phases and interconnectivity of the grains. The 60 min sonicated films with stronger hydrogen bonding network are devoid of unwanted Pb0, δ-FAPbI3, and PbI2 phases, having tightly packed homogeneous grains, minimum electron-hole recombination pathways, and improved light absorption. The surface potential remains mostly unaltered across the grains and grain boundaries, and the realignment of the Fermi energy (EF) favors facile carrier transport. The photoconversion efficiency (PCE) of the MAPbI3 and Cs0.17FA0.83Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 devices is improved by 28.1 and 17.2% in comparison to the pristine perovskites, respectively. The 60 min sonicated Cs0.17FA0.83Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 PSC has 20.20 ± 0.40% PCE with 1000 h ambient stability having >60% retention of the original PCE.

Abstract
In recent years, halide perovskite materials have been used to make high-performance solar cells and light-emitting devices. However, material defects still limit device performance and stability. Here, synchrotron-based Bragg coherent diffraction imaging is used to visualize nanoscale strain fields, such as those local to defects, in halide perovskite microcrystals. Significant strain heterogeneity within MAPbBr3 (MA = CH3 NH3 + ) crystals is found in spite of their high optoelectronic quality, and both 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 edge dislocations are identified through analysis of their local strain fields. By imaging these defects and strain fields in situ under continuous illumination, dramatic light-induced dislocation migration across hundreds of nanometers is uncovered. Further, by selectively studying crystals that are damaged by the X-ray beam, large dislocation densities and increased nanoscale strains are correlated with material degradation and substantially altered optoelectronic properties assessed using photoluminescence microscopy measurements. These results demonstrate the dynamic nature of extended defects and strain in halide perovskites, which will have important consequences for device performance and operational stability.

Abstract
It is still challenging to design and develop the state-of-the-art photocatalysts toward CO2 photoreduction. Enormous researchers have focused on the halide perovskites in the photocatalytic field for CO2 photoreduction, due to their excellent optical and physical properties. The toxicity of lead-based halide perovskites prevents their large-scale applications in photocatalytic fields. In consequence, lead-free halide perovskites (LFHPs) without the toxicity become the promising alternatives in the photocatalytic application for CO2 photoreduction. In recent years, the rapid advances of LFHPs have offer new chances for the photocatalytic CO2 reduction of LFHPs. In this review, we summarize not only the structures and properties of A2 BX6 , A2 B(I)B(III)X6 , and A3 B2 X9 -type LFHPs but also their recent progresses on the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Furthermore, we also point out the opportunities and perspectives to research LFHPs photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction in the future.

Abstract
Halide perovskites belong to an important family of semiconducting materials with electronic properties that enable a myriad of applications, especially in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. Their optical properties, including photoluminescence quantum yield, are affected and notably enhanced at crystal imperfections where the symmetry is broken and the density of states increases. These lattice distortions can be introduced through structural phase transitions, allowing charge gradients to appear near the interfaces between phase structures. In this work, we demonstrate controlled multiphase structuring in a single perovskite crystal. The concept uses cesium lead bromine (CsPbBr3) placed on a thermoplasmonic TiN/Si metasurface and enables single-, double-, and triple-phase structures to form on demand above room temperature. This approach promises application horizons of dynamically controlled heterostructures with distinctive electronic and enhanced optical properties.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are a novel class of semiconductors that have attracted great interest in recent decades due to their peculiar properties of interest for optoelectronics. In fact, their use ranges from the field of sensors and light emitters to ionizing radiation detectors. Since 2015, ionizing radiation detectors exploiting perovskite films as active media have been developed. Recently, it has also been demonstrated that such devices can be suitable for medical and diagnostic applications. This review collects most of the recent and innovative publications regarding solid-state devices for the detection of X-rays, neutrons, and protons based on perovskite thin and thick films in order to show that this type of material can be used to design a new generation of devices and sensors. Thin and thick films of halide perovskites are indeed excellent candidates for low-cost and large-area device applications, where the film morphology allows the implementation on flexible devices, which is a cutting-edge topic in the sensor sector.

Abstract
Various phosphonic acid based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been commonly used for interface modifications in inverted perovskite solar cells. This typically results in significant enhancement of the hole extraction and consequent increase in the power conversion efficiency. However, the surface coverage and packing density of SAM molecules can vary, depending on the chosen SAM material and underlying oxide layer. In addition, different SAM molecules have diverse effects on the interfacial energy level alignment and perovskite film growth, resulting in complex relationships between surface modification, efficiency, and lifetime. Here we show that ethanolamine surface modification combined with [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid (2PACz) results in significant improvement in device stability compared to devices with 2PACz modification only. The significantly smaller size of ethanolamine enables it to fill any gaps in 2PACz coverage and provide improved interfacial defect passivation, while its different chemical structure enables it to provide complementary effects to 2PACz passivation. Consequently, the perovskite films are more stable under illumination (slower photoinduced segregation), and the devices exhibit significant stability enhancement. Despite similar power conversion efficiencies (PCE) between 2PACz only and combined ethanolamine-2PACz modification (PCE of champion devices ∼21.6-22.0% for rigid and ∼20.2-21.0% for flexible devices), the T80 lifetime under simulated solar illumination in ambient is improved more than 15 times for both rigid and flexible devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites, HaPs, can provide chemical stability to three-dimensional (3D) HaP surfaces, protecting them from exposure to ambient species and from reacting with contacting layers. Both actions occur with 2D HaPs, with the general stoichiometry R2PbI4 (R: long or bulky organic amine) covering the 3D ones. Adding such covering films can also boost power conversion efficiencies of photovoltaic cells by passivating surface/interface trap states. For maximum benefit, we need conformal ultrathin and phase-pure (n = 1) 2D layers to enable efficient tunneling of photogenerated charge carriers through the 2D film barrier. Conformal coverage of ultrathin (<10 nm) R2PbI4 layers on 3D perovskites is challenging with spin coating; even more so is its upscaling for larger-area devices. We report on vapor-phase cation exchange of the 3D surface with the R2PbI4 molecules and real-time in situ growth monitoring by photoluminescence (PL) to determine limits for forming ultrathin 2D layers. We characterize the 2D growth stages, following the changing PL intensity-time profiles, by combining structural, optical, morphological, and compositional characterizations. Moreover, from quantitative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis on 2D/3D bilayer films, we estimate the smallest width of a 2D cover that we can grow to be <5 nm, roughly the limit for efficient tunneling through a (semi)conjugated organic barrier. We also find that, besides protecting the 3D against ambient humidity-induced degradation, the ultrathin 2D-on-3D film also aids self-repair following photodamage.

Abstract
Exceptional electronic, optoelectronic, and sensing properties of inorganic Cs-based perovskites are significantly influenced by the defect chemistry of the material. Although organic halide perovskites that have a polycrystalline structure are heavily studied, understanding of the defect properties at the grain boundaries (GB) of inorganic Cs-based perovskite quantum dots (QDs) is still limited. Here, morphology-dependent charge carrier dynamics of CsPbBr3 quantum dots at the nanoscale by performing scanning probe microscopy of thermally treated samples are investigated. The grain boundaries of defect-engineered samples show higher surface potential than the grain interiors under light illumination, suggesting an effective role of GBs as charge collection and transport channels. The lower density of crystallographic defects and lower trap density at GBs specifically of heat-treated samples cause insignificant dark current, lower local current hysteresis, and higher photocurrent, than the control samples. It is also shown that the decay rate of surface photovoltage of the heated sample is quicker than the control sample, which implies a considerable impact of ion migration on the relaxation dynamic of photogenerated charge carriers. These findings reveal that the annealing process is an effective strategy to control not only the morphology but also the optoelectrical properties of GB defects, and the dynamic of ion migration. Understanding the origin of photoelectric activity in this material allows for designing and engineering optoelectronic QD devices with enhanced functionality.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites are an attractive class of semiconductors, but it has proven difficult to control their electronic doping by conventional strategies due to screening and compensation by mobile ions or ionic defects. Noble-metal interstitials represent an under-studied class of extrinsic defects that plausibly influence many perovskite-based devices. In this work, doping of metal halide perovskites is studied by electrochemically formed Au+ interstitial ions, combining experimental data on devices with a computational analysis of Au+ interstitial defects based on density functional theory (DFT). Analysis suggests that Au+ cations can be easily formed and migrate through the perovskite bulk via the same sites as iodine interstitials (Ii + ). However, whereas Ii + compensates n-type doping by electron capture, the noble-metal interstitials act as quasi-stable n-dopants. Experimentally, voltage-dependent, dynamic doping by current density-time (J-t), electrochemical impedance, and photoluminescence measurements are characterized. These results provide deeper insight into the potential beneficial and detrimental impacts of metal electrode reactions on long-term performance of perovskite photovoltaic and light-emitting diodes, as well as offer an alternative doping explanation for the valence switching mechanism of halide-perovskite-based neuromorphic and memristive devices.

Abstract
Halide perovskite nano- and microlasers have become a very convenient tool for many applications from sensing to reconfigurable optical chips. Indeed, they exhibit outstanding emission robustness to crystalline defects due to so-called "defect tolerance" allowing for their simple chemical synthesis and further integration with various photonic designs. Here we demonstrate that such robust microlasers can be combined with another class of resilient photonic components, namely, with topological metasurfaces supporting topological guided boundary modes. We show that this approach allows to outcouple and deliver the generated coherent light over tens of microns despite the presence of defects of different nature in the structure: sharp corners in the waveguide, random location of the microlaser, and defects in the microlaser caused by mechanical pressure applied during its transfer to the metasurface. As a result, the developed platform provides a strategy to attain robust integrated lasing-waveguiding designs resilient to a broad range of structural imperfections, both for electrons in a laser and for pseudo-spin-polarized photons in a waveguide.

Abstract
The long search for nontoxic alternatives to lead halide perovskites (LHPs) has shown that some compelling properties of LHPs, such as low effective masses of carriers, can only be attained in their closest Sn(II) and Ge(II) analogues, despite their tendency toward oxidation. Judicious choice of chemistry allowed formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI3) to reach a power conversion efficiency of 14.81% in photovoltaic devices. This progress motivated us to develop a synthesis of colloidal FASnI3 NCs with a concentration of Sn(IV) reduced to an insignificant level and to probe their intrinsic structural and optical properties. Intrinsic FASnI3 NCs exhibit unusually low absorption coefficients of 4 × 103 cm-1 at the first excitonic transition, a 190 meV increase of the band gap as compared to the bulk material, and a lack of excitonic resonances. These features are attributed to a highly disordered lattice, distinct from the bulk FASnI3 as supported by structural characterizations and first-principles calculations.

Abstract
Metal gallium as a low-melting solid was applied in a mixture with elemental iodine to substitute tin(IV) in a promising light-harvesting phase of Cs2SnI6 by a reactive sintering method. The reducing power of gallium was applied to influence the optoelectronic properties of the Cs2SnI6 phase via partial reduction of tin(IV) and, very likely, substitute partially Sn4+ by Ga3+. The reduction of Sn4+ to Sn2+ in the Cs2SnI6 phase contributes to the switching from p-type conductivity to n-type, thereby improving the total concentration and mobility of negative-charge carriers. The phase composition of the samples obtained was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). It is shown that the excess of metal gallium in a reaction melt leads to the two-phase product containing Cs2SnI6 with Sn4+ and β-CsSnI3 with Sn2+. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy shows a high absorption coefficient of the composite material.

Abstract
The combination of photo-driven self-powered supplies and energy storage systems is considered as a promising candidate to solve the global energy dilemma. The photo-absorber and the energy storage material are integrated into the photocathode to effectively achieve a high-energy and high-efficiency energy system. In this work, we report the customized Janus-jointed photocathode design (integrating with highly efficient halide perovskite and tellurium composite electrode) and introduce it into the aqueous zinc-tellurium battery. The well-matched energy level of the Janus-jointed photocathode ensures the conversion of the photoenergy into electrical energy by transferring the photoexcited charge between each. As expected, in the photo-assisted recharging model, the decreased 0.1 V charge voltage and the extra 362 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 demonstrated the significant merits of saving energy for such a photo-rechargeable Zn-Te (PRZT) battery. When the current density is 1000 mA g-1, the specific capacity of the prepared photocathode is 83% higher than that under dark conditions. More importantly, the photogenerated charge by the perovskite under light illumination could also directly photocharge the battery with no external current, indicating the self-powering traits. The rational design in this work is believed to provide a sustainable mode for efficient charging of the aqueous PRZT battery.

Abstract
Detection of hazardous volatile organic and inorganic species is a crucial task for addressing human safety in the chemical industry. Among these species, there are hydrogen halides (HX, X = Cl, Br, I) vastly exploited in numerous technological processes. Therefore, the development of a cost-effective, highly sensitive detector selective to any HX gas is of particular interest. Herein, we demonstrate the optical detection of hydrogen chloride gas with solution-processed halide perovskite nanowire lasers grown on a nanostructured alumina substrate. An anion exchange reaction between a CsPbBr3 nanowire and vaporized HCl molecules results in the formation of a structure consisting of a bromide core and thin mixed-halide CsPb(Cl,Br)3 shell. The shell has a lower refractive index than the core does. Therefore, the formation and further expansion of the shell reduce the field confinement for experimentally observed laser modes and provokes an increase in their frequency. This phenomenon is confirmed by the coherency of the data derived from XPS spectroscopy, EDX analysis, in situ XRD experiments, HRTEM images, and fluorescent microspectroscopy, as well as numerical modeling for Cl- ion diffusion and the shell-thickness-dependent spectral position of eigenmodes in a core-shell perovskite nanowire. The revealed optical response allows the detection of HCl molecules in the 5-500 ppm range. The observed spectral tunability of the perovskite nanowire lasers can be employed not only for sensing but also for their precise spectral tuning.

Abstract
Halide perovskites-based solar cells are drawing significant attention due to their high efficiency, versatility, and affordable processing. Hence, halide perovskite solar cells have great potential to be commercialized. However, the halide perovskites (HPs) are not stable in an ambient environment. Thus, the instability of the perovskite is an essential issue that needs to be addressed to allow its rapid commercialization. In this work, WS2 nanoparticles (NPs) are successfully implemented on methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) based halide perovskite solar cells. The main role of the WS2 NPs in the halide perovskite solar cells is as stabilizing agent. Here the WS2 NPs act as heat dissipater and charge transfer channels, thus allowing an effective charge separation. The electron extraction by the WS2 NPs from the adjacent MAPbI3 is efficient and results in a higher current density. In addition, the structural analysis of the MAPbI3 films indicates that the WS2 NPs act as nucleation sites, thus promoting the formation of larger grains of MAPbI3. Remarkably, the absorption and shelf life of the MAPbI3 layers have increased by 1.7 and 4.5-fold, respectively. Our results demonstrate a significant improvement in stability and solar cell characteristics. This paves the way for the long-term stabilization of HPs solar cells by the implementation of WS2 NPs.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have been widely explored for numerous optoelectronic applications among which phototransistors have appeared as one of the most promising light signal detectors. However, it is still a great challenge to endow halide perovskites with both mobility and high photosensitivity because of their high sensitivity to moisture in ambient atmosphere. Here, we explore an FAPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot (QD) phototransistor with bandlike charge transport and measure a dark hole mobility of 14.2 cm2 V-1 s-1 at ambient atmosphere. Attaining both high mobility and good optical figures of merit, a detectivity of ∼1016 Jones is achieved, which is a record for halide perovskite nanocrystals. Simple A-site salt (FABr) treatments offer a mechanism for connecting between perovskite QDs for better charge transfer in high-quality devices. All of these important properties are superior to most advanced inorganic semiconductor phototransistors, indicating a promising future in optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Lead-halide perovskites offer excellent properties for lighting and display applications. Nanopatterning perovskite films could enable perovskite-based devices with designer properties, increasing their performance and adding novel functionalities. We demonstrate the potential of nanopatterning for achieving light emission of a perovskite film into a specific angular range by introducing periodic sol-gel structures between the injection and emissive layer by using substrate conformal imprint lithography (SCIL). Structural and optical characterization reveals that the emission is funnelled into a well-defined angular range by optical resonances, while the emission wavelength and the structural properties of the perovskite film are preserved. The results demonstrate a flexible and scalable approach to the patterning of perovskite layers, paving the way toward perovskite LEDs with designer angular emission patterns.

Abstract
Over the past decade, perovskite-based nanomaterials have gained notoriety within the scientific community and have been used for a variety of viable applications. The unique structural properties of these materials, namely good direct bandgap, low density of defects, large absorption coefficient, high sensitivity, long charge carrier lifetime, good selectivity, acceptable stability at room temperature, and good diffusion length have prompted researchers to explore their potential applications in photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, transistors, sensors, and other areas. Perovskite-based devices have shown very excellent sensing performances to numerous chemical and biological compounds in both solid and liquid mediums. When used in sensing devices, Perovskite nanomaterials are for the most part able to detect O2, NO2, CO2, H2O, and other smaller molecules. This review article looks at the use of lead-free halide perovskite materials for humidity sensing. A complete description of the underlying mechanisms and charge transport characteristics that are necessary for a thorough comprehension of the sensing performance will be provided. An overview of considerations and potential recommendations for the creation of new lead-free perovskite nanostructure-based sensors is presented.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites are well-known for their unique self-healing ability. In the presence of strong external stimuli, such as light, temperature, and moisture, high-energy defects are created which can be healed by removing the perovskite from the degradation source. This self-healing ability has been showcased in devices with recoverable performance and day-and-night cycling operation to dramatically extend the device lifetime and even mechanical durability. However, to date, the mechanistic details and theory around this captivating trait are sparse and convoluted by the complex nature of perovskites. With a clear understanding of the intrinsic self-healing property, perovskite solar cells with extended lifetimes and durability can be designed to realize the large-scale commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Here, we spotlight the relevant degradation and self-healing literature and then propose design strategies to help conceptualize future research.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is present not only in the electrode for inverted-structure halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) but also in transport layers such as copper iodide (CuI), copper thiocyanate (CuSCN), and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) alternatives to spiro-OMeTAD due to their improved thermal stability. While Cu or Cu-incorporated materials have been effectively utilized in halide perovskites, there is a lack of thorough investigation on the direct reaction between Cu and a perovskite under thermal stress. In this study, we investigated the thermal reaction between Cu and a perovskite as well as the degradation mechanism by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). The results show that high temperatures of 100 °C induce Cu to be incorporated into the perovskite lattice by forming "Cu-rich yet organic A-site-poor" perovskites, (CuxA1-x)PbX3, near the grain boundaries, which result in device performance degradation.

Abstract
In this work, we studied, at low temperature, the coherent evolution of the localized electron and hole spins in a polycrystalline film of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPI) by using a picosecond-photo-induced Faraday rotation technique in an oblique magnetic field. We observed an unexpected anisotropy for the electron and hole spin. We determined the electron and hole Landé factors when the magnetic field was applied in the plane of the film and perpendicular to the exciting light, denoted as transverse ⟂ factors, and when the magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the film and parallel to the exciting light, denoted as parallel ∥ factors. We obtained |ge,⟂|=2.600 ± 0.004, |ge,∥|=1.604 ± 0.033 for the electron and |gh,⟂|=0.406 ± 0.002, |gh,∥|=0.299 ± 0.007 for the hole. Possible origins of this anisotropy are discussed herein.

Abstract
The machine learning techniques are capable of predicting virtual material design space and optimizing material fabrication parameters. In this article, we construct machine learning models to describe the photoelectrochemical properties of molecularly engineered halide perovskite materials based on CH3NH3PbI3 in an aqueous solution and predict a complex multidimensional design space for the halide perovskite materials. The machine learning models are trained and tested based on an experimental photocurrent data set consisting of 360 data points with varying experimental conditions and dye structures. Machine learning algorithms including support vector machine (SVM), random forest, k-nearest neighbors, Rpart, Xgboost, and Kriging algorithms are compared, with the Kriging algorithm achieving the best accuracies (r = 0.99 and R2 = 0.98) and SVM achieving the second best. A total of 50,905 data points representing the complex multidimensional design space are predicted via the machine-learned models to benefit the future perovskite studies. In addition, the symbolic regression based on the genetic algorithms effectively and automatically designs hybrid descriptors that outperform the individual descriptors. This article highlights the machine learning and symbolic regression methods for designing stable and high-performance halide perovskite materials and serves as a platform for further experimental optimization of halide perovskite materials.

Abstract
Fundamental understanding of ion migration inside perovskites is of vital importance for commercial advancements of photovoltaics. However, the mechanism for external ions incorporation and its effect on ion migration remains elusive. Herein, taking K+ and Cs+ co-incorporated mixed halide perovskites as a model, the impact of external ions on ion migration behavior has been interpreted via multiple dimensional characterization aspects. The space-effect on phase segregation inhibition has been revealed by the photoluminescence evolution and in situ dynamic cathodoluminescence behaviors. The plane-effect on current suppression along grain boundary has been evidenced via visualized surface current mapping, local current hysteresis, and time-resolved current decay. And the point-effect on activation energy incremental for individual ions has been also probed by cryogenic electronic quantification. All these results sufficiently demonstrate the passivated ion migration results in the eventually improved phase stability of perovskite, of which the origin lies in various ion migration energy barriers.

Abstract
Two dimensional (2D) CsPb2Br5have been successfully synthesized via the chemical precipitation method. Detailed structural, morphological, optical, and dielectric studies of these materials have been performed. These 2D CsPb2Br5plates (of thickness around 200-300 nm) are ascribed to a tetragonal lattice system withI4/mcmspace group. The dielectric attributes such as dielectric constant, electrical modulus, loss factor, and the DC, and AC conductivities, are observed to be varying appreciably with temperature over an extensive frequency window of 10 Hz-50 MHz. The Nyquist plots are investigated using the Maxwell-Wagner equivalent circuit model, which shows the impact of grains and grain boundaries on the overall impedance. Both the free charge conductivity and space charge increase with an increment in temperature, as revealed from the modified Cole-Cole plot. The relaxation time and relaxation mechanism of 2D CsPb2Br5are estimated using the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts equation. Variation in DC conductivity and relaxation time, as a function of temperature, closely resembles Arrhenius' behavior. Value of activation energy calculated from the DC conductivity corroborates with the same derived from relaxation time. The observation of high dielectric constant and nominal dielectric loss for CsPb2Br5perovskite offers enormous potential in energy harvesting and storage devices.

Abstract
Mechanically modulating optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals and organic molecules are valuable for mechano-optical and optomechanical devices. Halide perovskites with excellent optical and electronic properties are promising for such applications. We report the mechanically changing excitons and photoluminescence of self-assembled formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3) quantum dots. The as-synthesized quantum dots (3.6 nm diameter), showing blue emission and a short photoluminescence lifetime (2.6 ns), form 20-300 nm 2D and 3D self-assemblies with intense green emission in a solution or a film. The blue emission and short photoluminescence lifetime of the quantum dots are different from the delayed (ca. 550 ns) green emission from the assemblies. Thus, we consider the structure and excitonic properties of individual quantum dots differently from the self-assemblies. The blue emission and short lifetime of individual quantum dots are consistent with a weak dielectric screening of excitons or strong quantum confinement. The red-shifted emission and a long photoluminescence lifetime of the assemblies suggest a strong dielectric screening that weakens the quantum confinement, allowing excitons to split into free carriers, diffuse, and trap. The delayed emission suggests nongeminate recombination of diffusing and detrapped carriers. Interestingly, the green emission of the self-assembly blueshifts by applying a lateral mechanical force (ca. 4.65 N). Correspondingly, the photoluminescence lifetime decreases by 1 order of magnitude. These photoluminescence changes suggest the mechanical dissociation of the quantum dot self-assemblies and mechanically controlled exciton splitting and recombination. The mechanically changing emission color and lifetime of halide perovskite are promising for mechano-optical and optomechanical switches and sensors.

Abstract
Lead-free perovskites are attracting increasing interest as nontoxic materials for advanced optoelectronic applications. Here, we report on a family of silver/bismuth bromide double perovskites with lower dimensionality obtained by incorporating phenethylammonium (PEA) as an organic spacer, leading to the realization of two-dimensional double perovskites in the form of (PEA)4AgBiBr8 (n = 1) and the first reported (PEA)2CsAgBiBr7 (n = 2). In contrast to the situation prevailing in lead halide perovskites, we find a rather weak influence of electronic and dielectric confinement on the photophysics of the lead-free double perovskites, with both the 3D Cs2AgBiBr6 and the 2D n = 1 and n = 2 materials being dominated by strong excitonic effects. The large measured Stokes shift is explained by the inherent soft character of the double-perovskite lattices, rather than by the often-invoked band to band indirect recombination. We discuss the implications of these results for the use of double perovskites in light-emitting applications.

Abstract
Halide perovskite nanowire-based lasers have become a powerful tool for modern nanophotonics, being deeply subwavelength in cross-section and demonstrating low-threshold lasing within the whole visible spectral range owing to the huge gain of material even at room temperature. However, their emission directivity remains poorly controlled because of the efficient outcoupling of radiation through their subwavelength facets working as pointlike light sources. Here, we achieve directional lasing from a single perovskite CsPbBr3 nanowire by imprinting a nanograting on its surface, which provides stimulated emission outcoupling to its vertical direction with a divergence angle around 2°. The nanopatterning is carried out by the high-throughput laser ablation method, which preserves the luminescent properties of the material that is typically deteriorated after processing via conventional lithographic approaches. Moreover, nanopatterning of the perovskite nanowire is found to decrease the number of the lasing modes with a 2-fold increase of the quality factor of the remaining modes.

Abstract
Flexible and self-powered photodetectors (PDs) have become one of the most popular topics, attracting researchers in the field of optoelectronic applications. In this study, for the first time, we demonstrate partial discharge detection in a practical environment with a prepared flexible device. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is utilized as a highly transparent material in the UVC region, to create a flexible substrate with the antihumidity property. A detector that uses a mixed-halide perovskite (FAPbI3)1-x(MAPbBr3)x as the photoactive material is constructed in a vertical structure on the as-prepared hydrophobic PVDF substrate. The fabricated device exhibits good performance with a fast response speed (trise = 82 ms, tfall = 64 ms) and a high detectivity of 7.21 × 1010 Jones at zero bias under 254 nm UV illumination, along with superior mechanical flexibility at various bending angles. Additionally, the air-exposure stability and reproducibility of the as-prepared device exhibit almost the original performance after 6 weeks of storage. For practical applications, we demonstrate a facile and sensitive detection for UVC leakage from a germicidal lamp and simulated a partial discharge system using our PD without energy consumption. These results indicate that this new approach may be useful and convenient for the detection of the partial discharge as well as for several practical applications.

Abstract
Halide perovskite materials such as methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) have attracted considerable interest for the resistive random-access memory applications, which exploit a dramatic change in the resistance by an external electric bias. In many semiconductor films, the drift, accumulation, and chain formation of defects explain the change in the resistance by an external bias. This study demonstrates that the interface of CH3NH3PbI3 with TiO2 has a significant impact on the formation and rupture of defect chains and causes the asymmetric bipolar resistive switching in the Au/CH3NH3PbI3/TiO2/FTO device (FTO = fluorine-doped tin oxide). When a negative bias is applied to the Au electrode, iodine interstitials with the lowest migration activation energy move toward TiO2 in the CH3NH3PbI3 layer and pile up at the CH3NH3PbI3-TiO2 interface. Under the same condition, oxygen vacancies in the TiO2 layer also travel to the CH3NH3PbI3-TiO2 interface and strongly attract iodine interstitials. As a result, a Schottky barrier appears at the CH3NH3PbI3-TiO2 interface, and the resistance of Au/CH3NH3PbI3/TiO2/FTO becomes much larger than that of Au/CH3NH3PbI3/FTO in the high resistance state. The frequency dependence of the capacitance confirms the asymmetric appearance of a large space charge polarization at the CH3NH3PbI3-TiO2 interface, which causes the unique bipolar resistive switching behavior with the on/off ratio (103) and retention time (>104 seconds) at -0.85 V in Au/CH3NH3PbI3/TiO2/FTO film.

Abstract
Up to now, the majority of the developed photocatalytic CO2 reduction systems need to use expensive sacrificial reductants as electron source. It is still a huge challenge to drive the photocatalytic CO2 reduction using water as an electron source. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the construction of direct Z-scheme heterojunction of LF-FAPbBr3/α-Fe2O3, which is manufactured by the in situ and two-step controlled growth of ligand-free formamidinium lead bromide (LF-FAPbBr3) nanocrystals on the surface of α-Fe2O3 nanorods. The matchable energy levels and direct contact between LF-FAPbBr3 and α-Fe2O3 significantly accelerate the interfacial charge transfer, with a charge separation efficiency (ηseparation) of 93%, much higher than that of 11% shown by the ligand-capped FAPbBr3/α-Fe2O3 heterojunction. The resulting efficient separation and raised redox ability of photogenerated carriers endow the LF-FAPbBr3/α-Fe2O3 heterojunction with an outstanding photocatalytic performance for CO2 reduction (to CO and CH4) coupled with water oxidation (to O2), achieving a highest electron consumption rate of 175.0 μmol g-1 h-1 among the reported metal halide perovskite-based photocatalysts, which are 5 and 11 times higher in comparison with those of sole LF-FAPbBr3 and ligand-capped FAPbBr3/α-Fe2O3, respectively.

Abstract
Pb-free double halide perovskites have drawn immense attention in the potential photocatalytic application, due to the regulatable bandgap energy and nontoxicity. Herein, we first present a study for CO2 conversion on Pb-free halide perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 under state-of-the-art first-principles calculation with dispersion correction. Compared with the previous CsPbBr3, the cell parameter of Cs2AgBiBr6 underwent only a small decrease of 3.69%. By investigating the adsorption of CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and catalytic reduction of CO2, we found Cs2AgBiBr6 exhibits modest adsorption ability and unsatisfied potential determining step energy of 2.68 eV in catalysis. We adopted defect engineering (Cl doping, I doping and Br-vacancy) to regulate the adsorption and CO2 reduction behavior. It is found that CO2 molecule can be chemically and preferably adsorbed on Br-vacancy doped Cs2AgBiBr6 with a negative adsorption energy of -1.16 eV. Studying the CO2 reduction paths on pure and defect modified Cs2AgBiBr6, Br-vacancy is proved to play a critical role in decreasing the potential determining step energy to 1.25 eV. Finally, we probe into the electronic properties and demonstrate Br-vacancy will not obviously promote the process of catalysis deactivation, as there is no formation of deep-level electronic states acting as carrier recombination center. Our findings reveal the process of gas adsorption and CO2 reduction on novel Pb-free Cs2AgBiBr6, and propose a potential strategy to improve the efficiency of catalytic CO2 conversion towards practical implementation.

Abstract
The limited long-term stability of metal halide perovskite-based solar cells is a bottleneck in their drive toward widespread commercial adaptation. The organic hole-transport materials (HTMs) have been implicated in the degradation, and metal oxide layers are proposed as alternatives. One of the most prominent metal oxide HTM in organic photovoltaics is MoO3. However, the use of MoO3 as HTM in metal halide perovskite-based devices causes a severe solar cell deterioration. Thus, the formation of the MoO3/CH3NH3PbI3-xClx (MAPbI3-xClx) heterojunction is systematically studied by synchrotron-based hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Upon MoO3 deposition, significant chemical interaction is induced at the MoO3/MAPbI3-xClx interface: substoichiometric molybdenum oxide is present, and the perovskite decomposes in the proximity of the interface, leading to accumulation of PbI2 on the MoO3 cover layer. Furthermore, we find evidence for the formation of new compounds such as PbMoO4, PbN2O2, and PbO as a result of the MAPbI3-xClx decomposition and suggest chemical reaction pathways to describe the underlying mechanism. These findings suggest that the (direct) MoO3/MAPbI3-xClx interface may be inherently unstable. It provides an explanation for the low power conversion efficiencies of metal halide perovskite solar cells that use MoO3 as a hole-transport material and in which there is a direct contact between MoO3 and perovskite.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are a rapidly developing class of solution-processable semiconductors which, to date, have a huge impact across several scientific communities. The remarkable photophysical attributes of halide perovskites illustrate their considerable potential in the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) realm. Over the past 4 years, great progress has been achieved in using halide perovskites as ECL emitters. In this mini-review, the basic characteristics, synthetic approaches, and ECL mechanisms for halide perovskite emitters are first introduced. To the best of our knowledge, most of the reported ECL-active halide perovskites and their disclosed unique features are detailly summarized. Stabilization and interface manipulation strategies for desirable ECL performance are further highlighted. The preliminary halide perovskites-related ECL applications are finally discussed, and prospects are also anticipated.

Abstract
We investigate all-inorganic perovskite CsPbxSn1-xBr3 thin films to determine the variations in the band gap and electronic structure associated with the Pb/Sn ratio. We observe that the band gap can be tuned between 1.86 eV (x = 0) and 2.37 eV (x = 1). Intriguingly, this change is nonlinear in x, with a bowing parameter of 0.9 eV; furthermore, a slight band gap narrowing is found for low Pb content (minimum x ∼ 0.3). The wide tunability of the band gap makes CsPbxSn1-xBr3 a promising material, e.g., for a wide-gap subcell in tandem applications or for color-tunable light-emitting diodes. Employing photoelectron spectroscopy, we show that the valence band varies with the Pb/Sn ratio, while the conduction band is barely affected.
