In addition, different CO<sub>2</sub> reduction products have similar reduction potential and usually face severe hydrogen evolution competition under aqueous system conditions, which makes the selectivity of specific reduction products unable to be effectively controlled. To overcome these bottlenecks, researchers have been working for many years to develop efficient photo/electrocatalysts to enhance the activity and product selectivity of CO<sub>2</sub> reduction.

To transition SIBs from the experimental stage to practical applications, the identification of electrode materials exhibiting satisfactory electrochemical performance is imperative. Iron (Fe), as a widely utilized metal element, exhibits considerable potential for application as anode materials in SIBs due to its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and high specific capacity. Nonetheless, Fe-based electrode materials suffer from low conductivity and significant volume changes during charge and discharge processes, leading to poor rate performance and cyclic stability, thereby restricting their widespread application in SIBs. Various modification strategies, such as nanosizing electrode materials, heteroatom doping, heterostructure construction, and combination with fast ion conductors, have been reported to address these challenges. Importantly, engineering Fe-based electrode materials with heterogeneous structures, integrating two or more components <em>via</em> van der Waals forces or chemical bonds, is crucial for creating intricate heterogeneous interfaces.

However, the majority of current photodetectors utilizing perovskite materials rely on polycrystalline thin films, and the presence of grain boundaries and defects hinders their photoelectric performance, creating a bottleneck in further advancements. To address this issue, researchers have employed techniques such as inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) and anti-solvent vapor-assisted crystallization (AVC) to synthesize various perovskite single crystals. Bulk single crystal perovskite structures are advantageous due to their lack of grain boundaries, resulting in lower dark current and noise in photodetectors, thereby enhancing their weak light detection capabilities. Additionally, the diminished presence of grain boundaries extends the lifetime of photo-generated carriers, providing a foundation for improved detector performance. However, due to the excellent optical absorption coefficient of perovskites, the excessive thickness of bulk single crystals can only increase the probability of carrier recombination, impacting the photodetector's performance. Consequently, perovskite thin single crystal materials prepared by controlling longitudinal size have garnered significant interest in novel detector research. Various techniques, such as space-confined method, surface tension-assisted method, and vapor phase epitaxy, have been proposed to growth thin single crystals with controllable thickness. These methods have been continually optimized to enhance crystal quality.
