Roadmap on metal-halide perovskite semiconductors and devices

Metal-halide perovskites are emerging as promising semiconductors for next-generation (opto)electronics. Due to their excellent optoelectronic and physical properties, as well as their processing capabilities, the past decades have seen significant progress and success in various device applications, such as solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and transistors. Despite their performance now rivaling or surpassing that of silicon counterparts, halide-perovskite semiconductors still face challenges for commercialization, particularly in terms of toxicity, stability, reliability, reproducibility, and lifetime. In this Roadmap, we present comprehensive discussions and perspectives from leading experts in the perovskite research community, covering various perovskite (opto)electronics, fundamental material properties and fabrication methods, photophysical characterizations, computing science, device physics, and the current challenges in each field. We hope this article provides a valuable resource for researchers and fosters the development of halide perovskites from basic to applied science.
