Abstract

Hybrid halide perovskites (HP) have emerged in the last decade as a new class of semiconductors with superior performances in photovoltaic and electronic devices. The literature about these halide semiconductors is abundant and a lot of names/expressions are used to define networks, structures, or materials. In this context, there is a need to offer some discussions about the relevance of using the word "perovskite" and the associated expressions ("RP" (Ruddlesden-Popper), "DJ" (Dion-Jacobson), "ACI" (alternating cations in the interlayer space), "hexagonal perovskites", "hollow perovskites", "d-HP" (deficient 3D HP),…). Moreover, the description of perovskite networks through elimination/substitution processes from the ABX3 structure will be compared to the known dimensional reduction concept.
