Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

ABX3-based perovskites have potential applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics due to their unique photoelectric properties, such as high absorption coefficient, long carrier diffusion length, unusually high defect tolerance, and adjustable band gap. Perovskites can be divided into organic and inorganic metal halides according to their chemical compositions and have great application potential in various fields such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, detectors, and laser devices. Simultaneous improvements in performance and stability over the past few decades, as well as the availability of solution-printed laminated structures, have seen these materials emerge as low-cost alternatives to the commercial photovoltaic industry. Although perovskites have been extensively studied, addressing long-term stability issues and further developing photoelectric conversion efficiency will be important to the challenge of achieving large-scale commercial production. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect the latest research progress and results of perovskites, ranging from the basic theory, synthesis methods, and structural design, to their extensive applications, as well as the possibility of the widespread use of perovskites in future applications. We invite scientists from different disciplines to contribute their work to this cause.

The primary objective of contemporary manufacturing is to produce items that are low-cost, environmentally friendly, and energy efficient. This study aimed to investigate compounds that fulfil these criteria, with a focus on CdCrO3. The full potential linearized augmented plane wave program (FP LAPW), as in Wien2K, was employed to examine the structural, electronic, thermodynamic, and transport characteristics of the material. Structural optimization was carried out using generalized gradient approximation (GGA), with lattice constants that were deemed satisfactory based on previous theoretical and experimental results. Calculations of the magnetic characteristics of CdCrO3 show that the Cr atoms are principally responsible for magnetism. The quasi-harmonic Debye model allows for the identification of thermodynamic properties including trends, the relative Debye temperature, thermal expansion parameter, relative volume, and heat capacity at various pressures and temperatures. At constant volume, a heat capacity of 52 J/mol K was determined. The thermoelectric properties were examined using the Boltzmann transport offered by the BoltzTrap program. At room temperature, CdCrO3 had a figure of merit (ZT) value that was almost equal to one, indicating that it may be used to make thermoelectric devices with the highest possible efficiency.
