Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Perovskite materials have shown great application prospects in modern thin-film optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, X-ray detectors, spintronic devices and transistors, owing to the widely tunable optoelectronic properties and simple solution processability. In recent years, solution spin-coating has been an important and widely used method for the preparation of organic and perovskite-based optoelectronic devices. It is well known that the preparation of semiconductor thin films by solution spin coating is the foundation of the modern microelectronics industry. The present Special Issue, “Multi-Dimensional and Multi-Scale Applications of Perovskite Materials”, may become a status report summarizing the progress achieved in the last ten years for perovskite. This Special Issue not only provides important experimental and theoretical support for the industrialization of perovskite materials and promotes the realization of wearable flexible devices, but also promotes the development and application of perovskite at multiple dimensions and multiple scales, including the characterized techniques and optoelectronics applications. Aspirant authors are encouraged to submit their latest original research, as well as forward-looking review papers, to this Special Issue.

Although the certified power conversion efficiency of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has reached 25.7%, their thermal and long-term stability is a major challenge due to volatile organic components. This problem has been a major obstacle to their large-scale commercialization. In the last few years, carbon-based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (C−IPSCs) have exhibited high stability and low-cost advantages by adopting the all-inorganic component with cesium lead halide (CsPbI3−xBrx, x = 0 ~ 3) and eliminating the hole-transporting layer by using cheap carbon paste as the back electrode. So far, many astonishing developments have been achieved in the field of C−IPSCs. In particular, the unencapsulated CsPbBr3 C-IPSCs exhibit excellent stability over thousands of hours in an ambient environment. In addition, the power conversion efficiencies of CsPbI3 and CsPbI2Br C-IPSCs have exceeded 15%, which is close to that of commercial multicrystalline solar cells. Obtaining high-quality cesium lead halide-based perovskite films is the most important aspect in the preparation of high-performance C-IPSCs. In this review, the main challenges in the high-quality film fabrication process for high performance C-IPSCs are summarized and the film fabrication process strategies for CsPbBr3, CsPbIBr2, CsPbI2Br, and CsPbI3 are systematically discussed, respectively. In addition, the prospects for future film fabrication processes for C-IPSCs are proposed. Full article

Over the past decade, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have shown unprecedented growth in power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 3.8% to 25.7%. However, intrinsic thermal instability and lead toxicity are obstacles limiting its large–scale commercialization. Thus, all-inorganic CsSnI3 perovskite has drawn remarkable interest owing to its nontoxicity, excellent thermal stability, low-cost fabrication, and spectacular photoelectric characteristics, including ideal bandgap range, long carrier lifetime, and large absorption coefficient. Many studies have shown that the device performances are closely related to the morphology and crystallinity of perovskite films. In this review, the physical properties of CsSnI3 perovskite are summarized. Furthermore, this review primarily narrates the recent progress in optimizing the morphology by various strategies such as additive engineering, composition regulation, and deposition techniques, emphasizing their effects on grain sizes, film uniformity, grain boundary, and defect passivation.

The ultrasonic transducer is considered the most important component of ultrasound medical instruments, and its key active layer is generally fabricated by piezoelectric materials, such as BaTiO3, Pb (Zn, Ti)O3, PVDF, etc. As the star material, perovskite photovoltaic materials (organic and inorganic halide perovskite materials, such as CH3NH3PbI3, CsPbI3, etc.) have great potential to be widely used in solar cells, LEDs, detectors, and photoelectric and piezoelectric detectors due to their outstanding photoelectric and piezoelectric effects. Herein, we firstly discussed the research progress of commonly used piezoelectric materials and the corresponding piezoelectric effects, the current key scientific status, as well as the current application status in the field of ultrasound medicine. Then, we further explored the current progress of perovskite materials used in piezoelectric-effect devices, and their research difficulties. Finally, we designed an ideal ultrasonic transducer fabricated by perovskite photovoltaic materials and considered the future application prospects of organic and inorganic halide perovskite material in the field of ultrasound.
