In recent years, metal halide perovskites have gained significant attention due to their unique optical and electronic properties of semiconductor materials, which make them ideal for use in sustainable and energy-efficient devices. These devices include solar cells, lasers, and light-emitting diodes. Therefore, this review aims initially to provide an overview of the most important characteristics of metal halide perovskites, including their engineering development in various types, such as those based on lead or lead-free materials, like tin or germanium. Additionally, perovskites made from purely inorganic compounds like caesium bromide, chloride, or iodide, as well as hybrids mixed with organic compounds like formamidinium and methylammonium halides will be discussed. The goal is to improve their stability and efficiency. Secondly, some of the studies have proposed technologies combining electronic and mechanical characteristics of flexibility or rigidity as required, promoting their synthesis with different materials such as polymers (poly methyl methacrylate, polyvinylidene fluoride), biopolymers (starch, cyclodextrin, polylactic acid, and polylysines), among others. Finally, the subject of this work is to establish the main purpose of the research carried out so far, which is to develop simpler and more scalable processes at industrial level to achieve greater efficiency and duration in storage, exposure to visible light, critical environments, humid or high temperatures.

Halide Edip Adıvar was one of the best‑known symbols of the modern, pro‑Western daughters of the Republic of Turkey. Through her own life and work, she exemplified how Turkish women should change. One of her greatest works is “The Daughter of Smyrna” (“Ateşten Gömlek”); its story takes place during the war of independence. Women participated in the fight and they encouraged the fighters, similarly to Ayşe, the character from the novel. They were the symbol of Anatolia and Turkey.
In the article, the context of the war of independence is briefly sketched. Then, the figure of Halide Edip is presented with the special attention paid to the period of her fight by Mustafa Kemal’s side. In the last part, the figures of the women presented in the book are analysed. The important questions asked in the article concern the similarities between the author and the characters created by her and how modern Turkish women living in the Republic of Turkey at the beginning of its existence should have looked.
