Abstract
Hybrid organic–inorganic semiconductors, usually referred to as perovskites, are low-cost semiconductors that have interesting optoelectronic properties and the potential to revolutionize several electronic devices. In most cases, these are usually composed out of alternating organic and inorganic parts and can be synthesized as three or lower dimensional semiconductors, thus exhibiting interesting quantum phenomena arising from the inorganic network’s dimensionality decrease. These quantum phenomena are observable at room temperature for the hybrid low-dimensional systems due to extra dielectric confinement occurring on the electrons and holes due to the dielectric contrast between the inorganic and organic parts. These perovskites have been attracting intense attention for future optoelectronics and electronics due to their exceptional attributes, including high carrier mobility, chemically adjustable spectral absorption and luminescence range, 100% internal quantum efficiency as well as the simplicity and affordability of fabrication rendering. All the above features render these hybrid organic–inorganic materials as one of the most exceptional and market-competitive optoelectronic materials for device application such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, transistors, and more. Here, we review the hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites, the progress over the years, and their application in new technologies related to such electronic devices.
