Performance Improvement of Lead‐Based Halide Perovskites through B‐Site Ion‐Doping Strategies

Abstract Owing to their excellent properties, lead halide perovskites have attracted extensive attention in the photoelectric field. Presently, the certified power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has reached 25.7%, the specific detectivity of perovskite photodetectors has exceeded 10 14 Jones, and the external quantum efficiency of perovskite‐based light‐emitting diode has exceeded 26%. However, their practical applications are limited by the inherent instability induced by the perovskite structure due to moisture, heat, and light. Therefore, one of the widely used strategies to address the issue is to replace partial ions of the perovskites with ions of smaller radii to shorten the bond length between halides and metal cations, improving the bond energy and enhancing the perovskite stability. Particularly, the B‐site cation in the perovskite structure can affect the size of eight cubic octahedrons and their gap. However, the X‐site can only affect four such voids. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent progress in B‐site ion‐doping strategies for lead halide perovskites and provides some perspectives for further performance improvements.
