Abstract
Perovskite thin film (PTF) technology is a rapidly developing field that has made significant strides, leading to breakthroughs in many applications. In this way, PTFs are widely acknowledged for their remarkable optoelectronic characteristics, which have been instrumental in advancing perovskite solar cells (PSCs), photodetectors (PDs), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and memory devices. This review first comprehensively introduces PTFs production from lab-scale to large-scale, then addresses the challenges of PTFs and discusses ways to overcome these challenges. Moreover, this review combines significant discoveries from current studies to clarify perovskite-based solar cells’ improved scalability, stability, and efficiency. Additionally, the use of PTFs in developing technologies-such as memory devices, LEDs, and PDs-is discussed, highlighting their role in improving the functionality and performance of these devices. Furthermore, it explains the investigation of PTFs in specific applications, such as x-ray detection, imaging sensing, and polarized detection, highlighting their potential to push the limits of detection technologies. Finally, we discuss the challenges in implementing PTFs for optoelectronic device systems uses and provide our opinions on potential future projects and lines of inquiry.
