Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) technology connects the real and network worlds by integrating sensors and internet technology, which has greatly changed people's lifestyles, showing its broad application prospects. However, traditional materials for the sensors and power components used in the IoT limit its development for high-precision detection, long-term endurance, and multi-scenario applications. Metal halide perovskite, with unique advantages such as excellent photoelectric properties, an adjustable bandgap, flexibility, and a mild process, exhibits enormous potential to meet the requirements for IoT development. This paper provides a comprehensive review of metal halide perovskite's application in sensors and energy supply modules within IoT systems. Advances in perovskite-based sensors, such as for gas, humidity, photoelectric, and optical sensors, are discussed. The application of indoor photovoltaics based on perovskite in IoT systems is also discussed. Lastly, the application prospects and challenges of perovskite-based devices in the IoT are summarized.
