Over the past decade, lead halide perovskites (LHPs), an emerging class of organic-inorganic ionic-type semiconductors, have drawn worldwide attention, which injects vitality into next-generation optoelectronics. Facilely tunable bandgap is one of the fascinating features of LHPs, enabling them to be widely used in various nano/microscale applications. Notably, wide-bandgap (WBG) LHPs have been considered as promising alternatives to traditional WBG semiconductors owing to the merits of low-cost, solution processability, superior optoelectronic characteristics, and flexibility, which could improve the cost-effectiveness and expand the application scenarios of traditional WBG devices.
