Lead halide perovskites have gained more and more attention because of their ease of synthesis and excellent photoelectric properties including a large absorption coefficient, long carrier lifetime, long carrier diffusion length, and high carrier mobility. However, their toxicity, instability, and phase degradation in ambient environments impede their large-scale applications. To address these concerns, it is desirable to find stable alternative halide perovskites without toxicity and with comparable optoelectronic properties to lead-based perovskites. Over the years, a considerable number of lead-free halide perovskites have been added to this family of materials, including A2B’B’’X6, A2BX6, and A3B2X9 type perovskites. Among these, double perovskites with the general formula A2B’B’’X6 are deemed to be a potential alternative to lead halide perovskites as they possess good stability under ambient conditions and excellent optoelectronic properties. In this review, recent progress in exploring Pb-free halide double perovskites is highlighted. The synthesis, composition-tuning, physical properties, and applications of representative 3D, 2D, and nanocrystal A2B’B’’X6 double perovskites are introduced. In addition, perspectives about current challenges and solutions in this field are also provided.

Layered halide perovskites and double perovskites optoelectronic properties have recently been the subject of intense research. Layered double perovskites represent the merging of both worlds, and as such, have the potential to further expand the already vast space of optoelectronic properties and applications of halide perovskites. Despite having more than 40 known members, to date, only the <111>-oriented layered double perovskites: Cs<sub>4</sub>Cd<sub>1</sub>–<sub>x</sub>Mn<sub>x</sub><b>Bi</b><sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>12</sub>, have shown efficient photoluminescence (PL). In this work, we replaced Bi with Sb to further investigate the electronic structure and PL properties of these materials, resulting in two new families of layered inorganic perovskites alloys with full solubility. The first family, Cs<sub>4</sub>Cd<sub>1</sub>–<sub>x</sub>Mn<b>Sb</b><sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>12</sub>, exhibits a PL emission at 605 nm ascribed to Mn<sup>2+</sup> centers in octahedral coordination, and a maximum photoluminescence quantum yield PLQY of 28.5%. The second family of alloys, also with full solubility, Cs<sub>4</sub>Cd<sub>0.8</sub>Mn<sub>0.2</sub>(Sb<sub>1</sub>–<sub>y</sub>Bi<sub>y</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>12</sub>, contains a fixed amount of Mn<sup>2+</sup> and Cd<sup>2+</sup> cations but different concentrations of the trivalent metals. This variability allows the tuning of the PL emission from 603 nm to 614 nm. We show that the decreased efficiency of the Cs<sub>4</sub>Cd<sub>1</sub>–<sub>x</sub>Mn<sub>x</sub>Sb<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>12</sub>family compared to Cs<sub>4</sub>Cd<sub>1</sub>–<sub>x</sub>Mn<sub>x</sub><b>Bi</b><sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>12</sub>, is mostly due to a decreased spin-orbit coupling in Sb and the subsequent increased electronic delocalization compared to the Bi alloys, reducing the energy transfer to Mn<sup>2+</sup> centers. This work lays out a roadmap to understand and achieve high photoluminescence efficiencies in layered double perovskites.<p></p>
