Abstract Lead halide perovskites have emerged as a new class of semiconductor materials with exceptional optoelectronic properties, sparking significant research interest in photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes. However, achieving long-term operational stability remains a critical hurdle. The soft, ionic nature of the halide perovskite lattice renders them vulnerable to various instabilities. These instabilities can be triggered by factors such as photoexcitation, electrical bias, and the surrounding electrolyte/solvent or atmosphere under operating conditions. Spectroelectrochemistry offers a powerful approach to bridge the gap between electrochemistry and photochemistry (or spectroscopy), by providing a comprehensive understanding of the band structure and excited-state dynamics of halide perovskites. This review summarizes recent advances that highlight the fundamental principles, the electronic band structure of halide perovskite materials, and the photoelectrochemical phenomena observed upon photo- and electro-chemical charge injections. Further, we discuss halide instability, encompassing halide oxidation, vacancy formation, ion migration, degradation, and sequential expulsion under electrical bias. Spectroelectrochemical studies that provide a deeper understanding of interfacial processes and halide mobility can pave the way for the design of more robust perovskites, accelerating future research and development efforts.
