Perovskite materials and methods of making and use thereof

A perovskite material comprising:

• [A1-xSnx][B1-xB′y]O3
• where:
• A, if present, is selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, La, Ag, Cd, Tl, Pb, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, or a combination thereof;
• B and B′, if present, are independently selected from the group consisting of Al, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, La, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Bi, or a combination thereof;
• x is from greater than 0 to 1;
• and
• y is from 0 to 1;
• with the proviso that A and B are different, A and B′ are different, and B and B′ are different.
