Perovskite Materials in Biomedical Applications

Due to exceptional light absorption and superior carrier transport properties, solution-processable hybrid perovskites have realized outstanding performance on solar cells and photodetectors in recent years. As hybrid perovskites contain high atomic number lead and halide elements, they are greatly suitable for X-ray detection and imaging purposes. Here, we present ongoing research in perovskite-based X-ray detectors and low-dose images, which are highly valuable for medical applications. In addition, magnetic oxide perovskite La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.98Ti0.02O3 nanoparticles with magneto-temperature response, as well as double-perovskite L2NiMnO6 for adsorption of bovine serum albumin will be introduced. Moreover, in vitro cell proliferation studies reveal low cytotoxicity and promising biocompatibility of perovskite CaTiO3 in cellular environments, thus justifying its benign functions in osseointegration and osteoblast adhesion. This chapter could advance the roles of perovskite materials in biomedical applications.
