Metal Halide Perovskites for Photocatalysis: Performance and Mechanistic Studies.

Metal halide perovskites, both lead‐based and lead‐free variants, have emerged as highly versatile materials with widespread applications across various fields, including photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and photocatalysis. This review provides a succinct overview of the recent advancements in the utilization of lead and lead‐free halide perovskites specifically in photocatalysis. We explore the diverse range of photocatalytic reactions enabled by metal halide perovskites, including organic transformations, carbon dioxide reduction, pollutant degradation, and hydrogen production. We highlight key developments, mechanistic insights, and challenges in the field, offering our perspectives on the future research directions and potential applications. By summarizing recent findings from the literature, this review aims to provide a timely resource for researchers interested in harnessing the full potential of metal halide perovskites for sustainable and efficient photocatalytic processes.
