Preface Hybrid Perovskites Synthesis Properties and Applications, 2026
Organometallic Halide Perovskites: Futuristic Materials for a More Efficient and Sustainable Electronic World Peeyush Kumar Kamlesh, Sheetal Sharma, Shivraj Kumar Bhardwaj, Ajay Singh Verma Hybrid Perovskites Synthesis Properties and Applications, 2026 There is a need for energy sources that are clean and environmentally friendly for the replacement of fossil fuels (nonrenewable energy). This growing concern has driven the advancement of renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, as a sustainable solution for electricity generation without contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, harnessing solar power through photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as a highly promising approach, capturing the attention of researchers worldwide who are striving to enhance its efficiency and accessibility. Today, inorganic-based solar cell technology is generally beaten by organic-based PV technology due to highly expensive production, as organic PVs are easily affordable due to the cheap solution-processable, earth-abundant materials. Thus, mass production of organic PV is possible, which could sufficiently provide the majority of our energy demands. As a result, organometal halide perovskite (OHP) materials have emerged as highly efficient candidates for use as the active layer in PV devices. These materials offer the potential for achieving higher power conversion efficiencies while also enabling the development of lightweight, cost-effective, and flexible solar cells. Their exceptional properties contribute significantly to advancing global energy solutions and improving living standards. Moreover, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have rapidly evolved as a breakthrough technology, with their power conversion efficiency (PCE) now surpassing 24%. The remarkable electronic and optical characteristics of perovskite materials, which distinguish them from other solution-processed materials, have propelled them into a new era of scientific and technological innovation, particularly in the fields of photonics and electronics. Herein, we have presented background and introduction to the structural, electronic, and charge transport characteristics of perovskites since their beginning in the field of optoelectronics. A discussion about the various types of optoelectronic devices, including PSCs, photodetectors (PDs), and perovskite-based LEDs, is also presented. This article may direct us toward a more efficient and sustainable electronic world.
ADVANCEMENTS IN ANTIPEROVSKITE STRUCTURED SOLIDS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW Shrawan Kumar, Sushil Kumar Pathak, Deepak Sharma, Peeyush Kumar Kamlesh, Ajay Singh Verma East European Journal of Physics, 2025 Antiperovskite-structured solids are attracting growing attention as a new class of multifunctional materials. Unlike conventional perovskites, their inverted cubic framework gives rise to unusual and highly tunable properties, from fast-ion conduction and giant magnetoresistance to superconductivity and negative thermal expansion. These different behaviors indicate promise for applications in areas such as solid-state batteries, energy-harvesting refrigeration, superconducting electronics, and thermal management. This review collates recent work in both experimental and theoretical research, emphasizing how a single simple cubic lattice can provide such a wide range of functionality. We argue that the structural versatility of antiperovskites is the common link between ionic transport, spin–lattice coupling, superconductivity, and thermal expansion. Recent advancements in Li- and Na-based solid electrolytes with high conductivity, giant magneto- and barocaloric responses, non-oxide superconductivity, and isotropic negative thermal expansion demonstrate that antiperovskites retain scientific importance and are increasingly viable competitors with the best of today’s functional materials.
