The versatile characteristics of halide perovskites have led to diverse optoelectronic applications. However, control over their intrinsic charge transport behavior such as electrical conductivity and Seebeck has received limited attention. In addition, doping halide perovskites has been difficult due to their self-compensating nature. In this talk, a wide range of tunability (semiconducting, metallic, p-type, n-type) strategies are demonstrated in halide perovskites leveraging their self-doping behavior and polymorphism. I will show that controlling the A-site cation in tin perovskites offers tuning the electrical conductivity, which is in contrast to general assumption that A-site cation does not play significant role in determining the electronic properties. Finally, I will discuss strategies such as molecular doping and additive engineering in tuning the charge transport in this class of (Sn based) materials. Control over the transport behavior of halide perovskites serves as a viable approach for extending their functionality to other energy conversion applications such as thermoelectrics.
