The introduction of halide perovskites has led to an unprecedented development in the area of energy harvesting and conversion. This new family of materials can be easily processed into thin films, single-crystals, and nanocrystals at low temperatures, and they are highly tunable in chemical compositions (from being hybrid organic-inorganic to all-inorganic), resulting in numerous crystal structures. Such versatility makes halide perovskites emerge as a new platform for harnessing efficient conversions between light, electricity, mechanical, and chemical energies. In this proposed symposium, we will focus on the most cutting-edge energy-science topics including new crystal/defect theories, unusual atomic/nano-/micro-structures, high-resolution characterizations, exceptional properties, giant ferroelectric polarization,innovative materials synthesis, new interface sciences, and quantum information sciences. The goal is to bring together the most active scientists in this field from all over the world and to discuss the next frontier of perovskite energy sciences. The results from this symposium discussion will stimulate broad fundamental efforts in pushing perovskite-based energy technologies to the next level.

Topics will include:

• Multiscale simulation and high-throughput computational screening of halide perovskites
• Structural formation and transformation of halide perovskites
• Multifunctional properties of halide perovskites
• Light-matter interaction in halide perovskites
• High-spatiotemporal-resolution characterization (e.g. microcopy, multimodal studies) of halide perovskites
• Ionic transport in halide perovskites
• Surface/Interface science of halide perovskites
• Spin physics in halide perovskites
• Strain engineering and epitaxy of halide perovskites
• Quantum information science in halide perovskites

• A tutorial complementing this symposium is tentatively planned.
