Abstract

All-inorganic lead-free halide perovskites stem from their unique combination of stability, non-toxicity, optoelectronic properties, and environmental friendliness, positioning them as promising materials for a range of applications in the field of renewable energy and optoelectronics. Herein, a meticulously designed slow cooling strategy is employed for the growth of high-quality hexagonal-phase Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite single crystals and implements a sophisticated solution-processed spin coating technique for the fabrication of Cs3Bi2Br9 uniform thin film. A comprehensive analysis of the structural, morphological, thermal, and optoelectronic attributes, along with considerations of environmental stability and phase transitions, reveals Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite as an auspicious prospect for pioneering advancements in the next-generation photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices in both single crystals and polycrystalline thin films. The collective insights presented here not only contribute to the scientific understanding of Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite but also pave the way for the development of sustainable, high-performance technologies crucial for the future of clean energy.
