报告摘要：

Despite the demonstration of rapid improvement in record power conversion efficiency (PCE) over the past few years, the ultimate commercialization of organic–inorganic lead (Pb) halide perovskite solar cell technology is still facing serious challenges, most notably with regards to cell instability against moisture and temperature and the inclusion of toxic Pb. Extensive efforts have been paid to search for nontoxic or low-toxicity and air-stable metal halide perovskite-based solar cell materials. So far, only tin halide perovskites have produced solar cells with reasonable PCEs; other lead-free halide perovskites have not produced efficient devices. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the photovoltaic properties of all reported lead-free halide perovskites. In this seminar, we introduce the concept of electronic dimensionality to account for the photovoltaic properties of perovskite-based solar cell materials, with focus on the recently-proposed halide double perovskites. Our results explain the challenges for realizing promising Pb-free halide perovskite absorbers for thin-film solar cell applications.
