Considering the attractive optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites (MHPs), their introduction to the field of photocatalysis was only a matter of time. Thus far, MHPs have been explored for the photocatalytic generation of hydrogen, carbon dioxide reduction, organic synthesis, and pollutant degradation applications. Of growing research interest and possible applied significance are the currently emerging developments of MHP-based Z-scheme heterostructures, which can potentially enable efficient photocatalysis of highly energy-demanding redox processes. In this Perspective, we discuss the advantages and limitations of MHPs compared to traditional semiconductor materials for applications as photocatalysts and describe emerging examples in the construction of MHP-based Z-scheme systems. We discuss the principles and material properties that are required for the development of such Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalysts and consider the ongoing challenges and opportunities in this emerging field.
鉴于金属卤化物钙钛矿（MHP）具有吸引人的光电特性，将其引入光催化领域只是时间问题。到目前为止，人们已经探索了MHP在光催化产氢、二氧化碳还原、有机合成和污染物降解等应用。目前基于MHP的Z型异质结构的新进展引起了越来越多的研究兴趣并具有潜在的应用意义，这有可能实现对高能量需求的氧化还原过程进行高效光催化。在这篇观点文章中，我们讨论了与传统半导体材料相比，MHP作为光催化剂应用的优点和局限性，并描述了基于MHP的Z型体系构建中的新实例。我们讨论了开发此类Z型异质结构光催化剂所需的原理和材料特性，并考虑了这个新兴领域中持续存在的挑战和机遇。
