Perovskite (pronunciation: / p ə ˈ r ɒ v s k aɪ t /) is a calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate (chemical formula Ca Ti O 3).Its name is also applied to the class of compounds which have the same type of crystal structure as CaTiO 3, known as the perovskite structure, which has a general chemical formula A 2+ B 4+ (X 2−) 3.

A perovskite is any material of formula ABX 3 with a crystal structure similar to that of the mineral perovskite, this latter consisting of calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO 3). [2] The mineral was first discovered in the Ural mountains of Russia by Gustav Rose in 1839 and named after Russian mineralogist L. A. Perovski (1792–1856).
Ligand-assisted reprecipitation method is dedicated for the preparation of perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls). In this method, the precursors in different solvents whether polar like Dimethylformamide and Dimethyl sulfoxide or non-polar like toluene and hexane are added in the presence of the ligands to form the perovskite NPls theough ...
Calcium titanate is obtained as orthorhombic crystals, more specifically perovskite structure. [3] In this motif, the Ti(IV) centers are octahedral and the Ca 2+ centers occupy a cage of 12 oxygen centres. Many useful materials adopt related structures, e.g. barium titanate or variations of the structure, e.g. yttrium barium copper oxide.
The name "perovskite solar cell" is derived from the ABX 3 crystal structure of the absorber materials, referred to as perovskite structure, where A and B are cations and X is an anion. A cations with radii between 1.60 Å and 2.50 Å have been found to form perovskite structures. [14]
Silicate perovskite is either (Mg,Fe)SiO 3 (the magnesium end-member is called bridgmanite [1]) or CaSiO 3 (calcium silicate known as davemaoite) when arranged in a perovskite structure. Silicate perovskites are not stable at Earth's surface, and mainly exist in the lower part of Earth's mantle , between about 670 and 2,700 km (420 and 1,680 mi ...
Aurivillius phases are a form of perovskite represented by the general formulae is (Bi 2 O 2)(A n−1 B n O 3n+1) (where A is a large 12 co-ordinate cation, and B is a small 6 co-ordinate cation).
Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases are a type of perovskite structure that consists of two-dimensional perovskite-like slabs interleaved with cations.The general formula of an RP phase is A n+1 B n X 3n+1, where A and B are cations, X is an anion (e.g., oxygen), and n is the number of octahedral layers in the perovskite-like stack.
