RESUMEN
Halide double perovskites (HDPs) present a convenient alternative to the unstable and toxic lead halide perovskites for various optoelectronic applications. Because of their compositional and structural tunability, many HDP phases have been synthesized in the past decades. While efficient photovoltaic applications remain largely out of reach for the HDP phases due to their wide band gaps and structures with pseudoisolated metal centers, their electronic structures favor light conversion applications. Since the field of HDP witnesses rapid growth and development, this article is aimed at providing a brief snapshot of the recent advances on all-inorganic HDPs, primarily focusing on the relationship between their compositions and optical properties, and some aspects of their applications for visible light conversion.
