Reviewer 2 Report
Authors presented a very interesting and timely review on oxide and organic–inorganic halide perovskites for optoelectronic and energy applications.
The paper is well organized and well written in clear English.
A few minor comments must be addressed before publication:
- 31 must be revised.
- The abstract mentions metamaterials, which were not discussed in the manuscript. That should be removed from the abstract or expanded along the manuscript.
- The conclusion mentions hot-electron emission in a confusing sentence: “The physical phenomena regulating plasmon-enhanced solar energy harvesting, including hot-electron injection, light trapping, and energy flow direction modulation in dipole-dipole coupling by the plasmonics effect, were explicitly discussed separately”. It would be wiser to remove the sentence from the present manuscript, unless it is to be discussed in more details.
- At line 560, authors discuss the large above-bandgap open-circuit voltage observed in ferro-electric PV-materials (fig. 9). However, reference to the literature is incomplete. The effect was actually proposed earlier with organic solar cells (Sicot et al, Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells 63 (2000) 49-60, org/10.1016/S0927-0248(00)00019-2).

Reviewer 3 Report
In this paper, Brahim et al. report the overall oxide and organic-inorganic halide perovskite application according to unique electrical properties of each perovskite composition and structure, such as superconductivity, catalyst, oxygen separating membrane, SOFCs, solar cell, and so on. Based on the crystallographic study, the perovskite application study was well explained and summarized the plamonics effect on the perovskite solar cell in the table.
However, some references are inconsistent with the content. In the perovskite solar cell application of plasmonic nanostructure, ref 111 does not contain any description of the plasmonic phenomenon. Scientific Reports, 10, 11248 (2020)(doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-67741-9) reported that the plasmonic phenomenon was introduced into each layer to maximize the light trapping effect using convex nano-pattering. Furthermore, some word was incorrect in the paper. For example, 775 line "plamonics" word should be fixed to plasmonics.
Therefore, it is thought that additional references check is necessary for the content before it can be published in this journal.
