Halide Perovskites: New Materials for Thermoelectric Application

This review presents theoretical and experimental studies of hybrid and metal halide perovskites, which have found active application in photoelectronics and optoelectronics. The extremely low thermal conductivity of halide perovskites has attracted the attention of researchers for their investigation as thermoelectric materials as well. This review discusses methods of synthesis, the microstructure, and thermoelectric properties of thin-film and bulk halide perovskites studied over the past five years. Possible pathways to enhance the efficiency of these materials are also described.
