Self-assembly of perovskite nanocrystals: From driving forces to applications

Abstract

Self-assembly of metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) into superlattices can exhibit unique collective properties, which have significant application values in the display, detector, and solar cell field. This review discusses the driving forces behind the self-assembly process of perovskite NCs, and the commonly used self-assembly methods and different self-assembly structures are detailed. Subsequently, we summarize the collective optoelectronic properties and application areas of perovskite superlattice structures. Finally, we conclude with an outlook on the potential issues and future challenges in developing perovskite NCs.
