Since its discovery in 1839, research on the synthesis and application of perovskite materials has multiplied largely due to their suitability to be used in the fields of nanotechnology, chemistry and material science. Appropriate changes in composition or addition of other elements or blending with polymers may result in new hybrid and/or composite perovskite materials that will be applied in advanced fields. In this review, we have recapitulated the recent progress on perovskite nanomaterial in solar cell, battery, fuel cell and supercapacitor applications, and the prominence properties of perovskite materials, such as excellent electronic, physical, chemical and optical properties. We discussed in detail the synthesis and results of various perovskite hybrid nanomaterials published elsewhere. We have also discussed the results of various studies on these low dimensional composite nanomaterials in broad sectors such as electronics/optoelectronics, batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells and electrochemical sensors.

A nitrogen/sulfur co-doped reduced graphene oxide (N,S-RGO) material was rationally prepared via a modified Hummers method followed by microwave-assisted reduction. The resulting material was uniformly deposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to fabricate an electrochemical sensor for nitrobenzene (NB) detection. The prepared N,S-RGO material was characterized in detail using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy, confirming the successful incorporation of heteroatoms. Furthermore, electrochemical studies, including cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), revealed the enhanced electrical conductivity of the material. The fabricated N,S-RGO/GCE sensor exhibited remarkable electroanalytical performance, achieving a low detection limit (LOD) of 7 nM within a linear concentration range of 0.05 to 147 µM. The enhanced sensing performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of nitrogen and sulfur doping, which improves electron transfer kinetics and abundant active sites for NB reduction. Furthermore, the sensor demonstrated outstanding selectivity toward NB in the presence of common interfering substances. Its practical applicability was confirmed through the successful detection of NB in environmental water samples, yielding convincing recovery rates. These results highlight the potential of the N,S-RGO/GCE platform as an efficient and reliable electrochemical sensor for environmental monitoring of NB contamination.
