Abstract:
In recent years, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the development of organicinorganic halide lead perovskite solar cells, with reported power conversion efficiency (PCE) values of up to 22.1%. This value is comparable to the efficiencies obtained using CdTe (22.1%) and CuInGaSn (CIGS) (22.3%) solar cells, and close to the value associated with crystalline silicon solar cells (approximately 25%). However, the limited long-term output efficiency stability and lead toxicity issues associated with organic-inorgan lead halide perovskite cells have limited their commercial applications. This review focuses on these issues and corresponding solutions for halide lead hybrid perovskite solar cells, and discusses advances and developments in Pb-free inorganic perovskite solar cells. We also examine the current body of knowledge regarding perovskite solar cells and discuss critical points and expectations regarding further performance improvements.
