Review on efficiency improvement effort of perovskite solar cell

Hailin Zhang et al.

Summary: Perovskite materials have excellent optical and electronic properties. The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has rapidly increased from 3.8% to 25.5% in laboratory settings. Efforts to further improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells focus on composition tuning and morphology improvement of the perovskite absorption layer, energy level matching of the interface, and carrier extraction and transport rate in the transport layer. Various methods, such as additive engineering, defect passivation, interface engineering, and transmission material optimization, have been suggested.

Defects and stability of perovskite solar cells: a critical analysis

Leiping Duan et al.

Summary: Metal halide perovskite solar cells have achieved power conversion efficiencies exceeding 25.5%, similar to silicon solar cells, but their stability remains a challenge for commercialization due to degradation from external factors. Encapsulation can suppress degradation from oxygen and moisture, however, light and heat-induced degradation are still issues that need to be addressed for improved stability.
