Description
Lead and tin halide perovskites are among the most promising materials for next-generation photovoltaic and photodetector technologies. Despite the potential for widespread adoption in the industrial sector, solvent-free deposition of perovskite films remains relatively underexplored. Here, we present some of the latest advancements in the stabilization of perovskite films prepared by vapor deposition, with particular emphasis on methods to manipulate their morphology and structure. The impact of composition and deposition conditions on semiconductor properties and performance of solar-cell is discussed. We then discuss the application of thin perovskite films in the detection of optical and X-ray photons. In addition, we present a dry synthetic method for preparing functional flexible pellets starting from raw chemical precursors. Finally, we demonstrate the use of these flexible pellets in ionizing radiation detectors.
