Laser Technology for Perovskite: Fabrication and Applications

Perovskite has attracted considerable attention in the electronic and optical fields in recent years, fulfilling the requirements of the ever-growing demand in energy, environment, security, and big data storage. Laser direct writing technology is a flexible and mask-free approach for fabricating, structuring, modifying, and patterning perovskites. Laser irradiation can directly induce perovskites from precursors due to the photothermal and photochemical effects of laser. Therefore, various laser-induced perovskites, such as perovskite quantum dots, nanowires, nanocrystals, and films, are summarized. In particular, the laser-induced perovskites in glass are intensively investigated for their high stability and flexibility in 3D printing. The second part of this review examines various applications of perovskites based on laser technology, such as solar cells, flat lenses, microlasers, photoluminescence, lithography, sensors, optical encryption, and data storage. Diverse laser treatments employed for modulating and patterning perovskite devices, such as laser annealing, laser ablation, and laser-induced defects, are discussed. Prospective challenges and future trends in this research field are also concluded. The review explores laser-induced perovskites, including quantum dots, nanowires, nanocrystals, and films.
