  • The original version of this chapter was revised: The text in figure 1 has been amended and the patent number has been included in the references. The correction to this chapter is available at https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-1267-4_12

Abstract

The chapter focuses on how the name perovskite evolved from being used for a particular, and geologically not very relevant, mineral discovered in the eighteen century to symbolize a vast number of essential materials in our society that are also intensively investigated nowadays due to their promising applications. The transition took decades to occur and involved several scientists from different but related disciplines such as geology, mineralogy, chemistry, and physics. Here, a short and condensed account of the history of research on perovskites since the discovery of the mineral is given. The account would include how and when the perovskite family grew and incorporated related structures such as the hexagonal perovskites, double (or elpasolite) perovskites, Aurivillius and Ruddlesden-Popper layered phases, and oxygen-deficient compounds, among others. Special attention is given to the relevant scientists that inspired hundreds of others.

This work would have been impossible without the help of many colleagues (and librarians) who have provided me with many of references cited here and who have helped me with the understandings of those papers that were written in German or French. As naming all of them is impossible, I will just mention the institutions from which they have helped: the University of Edinburgh (particularly from CSEC), University of British Columbia, Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Murcia, Universidad de Zaragoza, and Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.
