Energy-harvesting chromogenic devices

The present disclosure relates to devices that include a perovskite, where, when a first condition is met, at least a portion of the perovskite is in a first phase that substantially transmits light, when a second condition is met, at least a portion of the perovskite is in a second phase that substantially absorbs light, and the perovskite is reversibly switchable between the first phase and the second phase by reversibly switching between the first condition and the second condition.

Perovskite nanocrystals and methods of making the same

The present disclosure relates to a perovskite that includes A1-xA′xBX3, where A is a first cation, A′ is a second cation, B is a third cation, X is a first anion, and 0<1−x≤1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perovskite may further include a second anion (X′) such that the perovskite includes A1-xA′xB(X1-zX′z)3, where 0<z≤1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perovskite may further include a fourth cation (A*) such that the perovskite includes A1-x-yA′xA*yB(X1-zX′z)3, where 0<y≤1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perovskite may further include a fifth cation (B′) such that the perovskite includes A1-x-yA′xA*yB1-aB′a(X1-zX′z)3, where 0<a≤1.

Heterojunction perovskite photovoltaic devices and methods of making the same

An aspect of the present disclosures is a method that includes applying a perovskite precursor solution to a first solid conductor and treating the perovskite precursor solution such that a first portion of the perovskite precursor solution is converted to a first solid perovskite, where the first solid conductor comprises a first charge transport characteristic, which is predominantly p-type or predominantly n-type, and the treating results in the first solid perovskite having a second charge transport characteristic that is substantially the same as the first charge transport characteristic.
