Chiral Perovskite Single Crystals: Toward Promising Design and Application.

Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have emerged as promising optoelectronic materials owing to their exceptional optoelectronic properties and versatile crystal structures. The introduction of chiral organic ligands into perovskite frameworks, breaking the inversion symmetry of the structure, has attracted significant attention toward chiral perovskites. Herein, the recent advances in various synthesis strategies for chiral perovskite single crystals (SCs) are systematically demonstrated. Then, we elucidate an in-depth understanding of the chirality transfer mechanisms from chiral organic ligands to perovskite inorganic frameworks. Furthermore, representative examples of chiral perovskite SC-based applications are comprehensively discussed, including circularly polarized light (CPL) photodetection, nonlinear optical (NLO) responses, and other emerging chirality-dependent applications. In the end, an outlook for future challenges and research opportunities is provided, highlighting the transformative potential of chiral perovskites in next-generation optoelectronic devices.
