Abstract

Halide perovskite heterojunctions rationally integrate the chemical and physical properties of multi-dimensional perovskites and judiciously chosen semiconductor materials, offering the promise of going beyond the limit of a single component. This emerging platform of materials innovation offers fresh opportunities to tune material properties, discover interesting phenomena, and enable novel applications. In this review, we first discuss the fundamentals of forming heterojunctions with perovskites and a wide range of semiconductors, and then we give an overview of the research progress of halide perovskite heterojunctions in terms of their optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, focusing on how the heterojunction tunes the energy band structure, electrical transport, and charge recombination behaviors. We further outline the progress of perovskite-based heterojunctions in optoelectronics. Finally, the challenges and future research directions for perovskite/semiconductor heterojunctions are discussed.
