A growing number of research articles have been published on the use of halide perovskite materials for photocatalytic reactions. These articles extend these materials’ great success from solar cells to photocatalytic technologies such as hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, dye degradation, and organic synthesis. In the present review article, we first describe the background theory of photocatalysis, followed by a description on the properties of halide perovskites and their development for photocatalysis. We highlight key intrinsic factors influencing their photocatalytic performance, such as stability, electronic band structure, and sorption properties. We also discuss and shed light on key considerations and challenges for their development in photocatalysis, such as those related to reaction conditions, reactor design, presence of degradable organic species, and characterization, especially for CO2 photocatalytic reduction. This review on halide perovskite photocatalysts will provide a better understanding for their rational design and development and contribute to their scientific and technological adoption in the wide field of photocatalytic solar devices.
