The evolution of metal halide perovskites in the last decade has originated a new family of materials for optoelectronic applications with unprecedented properties. However, the great performance values achieved, particularly in the field of photovoltaics, are usually based on lead-based perovskites and environmentally aggressive synthetic methods. It is thus essential to explore new avenues that take advantage of the best properties of metal halide perovskites with more sustainable methods. As an approach to achieve this objective, we analyze the rich variety of this family of materials, focusing on the differential properties of multiscale structures. Perovskite macro and nanocrystals can provide crucial tools to tackle the current environmental challenges that hinder their tangible impact on the final applications. We present new synthesis and passivation methods to fabricate device-oriented perovskite monocrystals in the macro and nanoscale, studying the physical processes controlling the luminescence as well as charge transport and recombination dynamics.
