Technical Routes to Achieve High Circular Polarized Luminescence in Chiral Perovskites: A Mini-Review

Abstract

Chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic and spintronic applications, leveraging unique properties such as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), circularly polarized nonlinear optical (NLO) emission, and chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS). However, challenges remain in stabilizing these materials under environmental stresses and precisely controlling chirality for scalable use. This review summarizes five main strategies to induce chirality in HOIPs, i.e., direct incorporation of chiral cations, surface modification with chiral ligands, ion doping, template-induced chirality, and chiral metasurfaces. Each approach offers distinct advantages for optimizing CPL efficiency and device stability, paving the way for next-generation applications in CPL detectors, information encryption, spintronic devices, etc.
