Abstract
Halide perovskites are considered to be next-generation semiconductor materials with bright prospects to advance the technology of photonics and optoelectronics. Because of the intrinsic ionic feature, the interactions between perovskites and water induce serious stability issues, which has been one of the fundamental problems hindering the practical application of perovskites. The degradation of halide perovskites upon water exposure has been intensively studied, resulting in chemical insights into key processes, including hydration, phase transformation, decomposition, and dissolution. In this Perspective, we try to illustrate what happens when halide perovskites meet with water. We summarize the research progress regarding the understanding of these processes and discuss the principle of strategy design toward improved stability against water. In addition to the instability-related interactions, we also discuss the aqueous solution of perovskite precursors for fabricating perovskite-based functional materials. Hopefully, this Perspective can inspire more fundamental studies on the interactions between perovskites and water, such as spectroscopy and simulation, crystal structure and material characterizations, and solution chemistry and crystallization.
