In recent years, lead halide perovskite materials have attracted great interest and are widely used in solar cells and light-emitting devices due to their high photoelectronic quantum yield, high color purity, high defect tolerance, long diffusion length, high carrier mobility, and bandgap tunability. However, the application of lead halide perovskites is limited due to the presence of Pb, making lead-free perovskites an important substitute due to their same crystal structure and similar properties. Although some reports have been made on lead-free perovskite materials, there are still great challenges to realize their application due to their poor stability, easy phase transition, and low photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, we mainly summarize the development and application of ABX-type lead-free halide perovskite materials, especially in optoelectronic devices. The article first introduces the lattice and energy band structure, the optoelectronic properties of lead-free perovskites, including the research method of lead-free perovskites, and then analyzes the reasons for the low luminous efficiency and poor stability of lead-free perovskite materials. Second, the development history and current situation of lead-free perovskites in different optoelectronic device applications are summarized. Finally, we present the challenges and prospects for the future development of lead-free perovskites.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have been developed rapidly for application in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, solar cells, photodetectors and other fields in recent years due to their excellent photoelectronic properties, and they have attracted the attention of many researchers. Perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) show great promise for next-generation lighting and display technologies, and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) values of polycrystalline thin-film PeLEDs exceed 20%, which is undoubtedly a big breakthrough in lighting and display fields. However, the toxicity and instabilities of lead-based MHPs remain major obstacles limiting their further commercial applications.

The photocatalytic activity of lead-free perovskite heterostructures currently suffers from low efficiency due to the lack of active sites and the inadequate photogenerated carrier separation, the latter of which is hindered by slow charge transfer at the heterostructure interfaces. Herein, a facile strategy is reported for the construction of lead-free halide-perovskite-based heterostructure with swift interfacial charge transfer, achieved through direct partial conversion of 2D antimony oxybromide SbOBr to generate CsSbBr/SbOBr heterostructure. Compared to the traditional electrostatic self-assembly method, this approach endows the CsSbBr/SbOBr heterostructure with a tightly interconnected interface through in situ partial conversion, significantly accelerating interfacial charge transfer and thereby enhancing the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers.

The synthesis of ethylamine-based perovskites has emerged to attempt to replace the lead in lead-based perovskites for the alkaline earth elements barium and strontium, introducing chloride halide to prepare the perovskites in solar cell technology. X-ray diffraction studies were conducted, and EXPO2014 software was utilized to resolve the structure. Chemical characterization was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photophysical properties were analyzed through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence properties were determined to confirm the perovskite characteristics.

CsPtI is a promising photoabsorber with a direct bandgap of 1.4 eV and a high carrier lifetime; however, the cost of Pt inhibits its commercial viability. Here, we performed a cost analysis and experimentally explored the effect of replacing Pt with earth-abundant Ni in solution-processed Cs(PtNi)(I,Cl) thin films on the properties and stability of the perovskite material.
