Abstract

Perovskite materials have emerged as one of the most promising classes of functional materials for next-generation energy conversion and optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional structural, optical, and electrical properties. Their unique ABX₃ crystal structure provides excellent compositional flexibility, allowing researchers to tailor their physical and chemical characteristics for specific applications. Features such as tunable bandgaps, high optical absorption coefficients, long charge carrier diffusion lengths, and balanced electron-hole transport have made perovskites highly attractive for high-performance solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, lasers, and sensing devices. In particular, perovskite solar cells have demonstrated remarkable progress over the past decade, achieving power conversion efficiencies exceeding 26%, making them competitive with conventional silicon-based photovoltaic technologies. This review paper discusses the structure, classification, synthesis methods, properties, and applications of perovskite materials. Additionally, recent developments, challenges related to stability and toxicity, and prospects of perovskite materials are also highlighted.

Keywords: Perovskite materials, solar cells, optoelectronics, crystal structure, energy materials.
