Abstract

Chalcogenide perovskites are gaining prominence as earth-abundant and non-toxic solar absorber materials, crystallizing in a distorted perovskite structure. Among these, BaZrS3 has attracted the most attention due to its optimal bandgap and its ability to be synthesized at relatively low temperatures. BaZrS3 exhibits a high light absorption coefficient, excellent stability under exposure to air, moisture, and heat, and is composed of earth-abundant elements. These properties collectively position BaZrS3 as a promising candidate for a wide range of applications, although traditional high-temperature synthesis has primarily been a significant challenge. In this review, we provide a critical discussion of the various synthesis methods employed to fabricate BaZrS3, including solid-state synthesis, nanoparticle synthesis, and vacuum-based as well as solution-based approaches to synthesize thin films. We also comprehensively examine the experimentally measured and theoretically calculated optical, optoelectronic, electronic, and defect properties of BaZrS3. Furthermore, this review highlights the functional devices based on BaZrS3, showcasing applications spanning photovoltaics, photodetection, thermoelectrics, photoelectrochemical water splitting, piezoelectricity, and spintronics. Lastly, we propose a future roadmap to maximize the potential of this material. Additionally, this review extends its focus to BaHfS3 and BaTiS3, discussing their synthesis methods, properties, and explored applications, thereby offering a comparative perspective on this emerging family of chalcogenide perovskites.

从合成到应用:BaZrS3硫系钙钛矿综述
硫系钙钛矿以扭曲的钙钛矿结构结晶,作为地球上丰富且无毒的太阳能吸收材料而日益受到重视。其中,BaZrS3因其最优的带隙和在较低温度下合成的能力而备受关注。BaZrS3具有高的光吸收系数,在空气、湿气和热环境下具有优异的稳定性,并且由地球上丰富的元素组成。这些性质共同使BaZrS3成为广泛应用的有前途的候选者,尽管传统的高温合成主要是一个重大挑战。在这篇综述中,我们提供了用于制备BaZrS3的各种合成方法的关键讨论,包括固态合成,纳米颗粒合成,以及基于真空和基于溶液的薄膜合成方法。我们还全面研究了BaZrS3的光学、光电、电子和缺陷特性的实验测量和理论计算。此外,本文重点介绍了基于BaZrS3的功能器件,展示了光电、光探测、热电、光电化学水分解、压电和自旋电子学等领域的应用。最后,我们提出了一个未来的路线图,以最大限度地发挥这种材料的潜力。此外,本文将重点介绍BaHfS3和BaTiS3,讨论它们的合成方法、性质和探索的应用,从而对这一新兴的硫系钙钛矿家族提供比较的视角。
