“…In addition, G has provided the advantage over moisture and heat for over 500 h, i.e., the efficiency has not declined [98]. Another novel method for enhancing electric conductivity by incorporating PEDOT:PSS with carbon paper at the interface of HTL and CE was reported by Teixeira et al [99]. Although conventionally, most perovskite solar cells have been fabricated with Au and Ag-based CE, but due to their high price and complex processing, novel materials have gained attention.…”

Solar energy is regarded as the finest clean and green energy generation method to replace fossil fuel-based energy and repair environmental harm. The more expensive manufacturing processes and procedures required to extract the silicon utilized in silicon solar cells may limit their production and general use. To overcome the barriers of silicon, a new energy-harvesting solar cell called perovskite has been gaining widespread attention around the world. The perovskites are scalable, flexible, cost-efficient, environmentally benign, and easy to fabricate. Through this review, readers may obtain an idea about the different generations of solar cells and their comparative advantages and disadvantages, working mechanisms, energy alignment of the various materials, and stability achieved by applying variable temperature, passivation, and deposition methods. Furthermore, it also provides information on novel materials such as carbonaceous, polymeric, and nanomaterials that have been employed in perovskite solar in terms of the different ratios of doping and composite and their optical, electrical, plasmonic, morphological, and crystallinity properties in terms of comparative solar parameters. In addition, information on current trends and future commercialization possibilities of perovskite solar have been briefly discussed based on reported data by other researchers.

“…Again, these materials can benefit from previous developments in fuel cell and redox flow battery technologies, and some studies have already reported the use of carbon paper and cloth scaffolds in C-PSC electrodes. [118,[204][205][206] These macroscopic carbon materials effectively serve two purposes: improving electrode conductivity and acting as a supporting layer during press-transfer deposition. This practice is not yet commonplace but shows great promise, and there is room to explore this concept further.…”

Carbon electrodes have gained significant attention as a cost‐effective, sustainable, stable, and scalable replacement for metal electrodes in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, traditional carbon‐electrode‐based PSCs (C‐PSCs) lack a hole‐selective layer (HSL) due to their incompatibility with the most effective organic HSLs employed in the PSC literature. In turn, the absence of an HSL has been identified as one of the main factors hindering the performance of C‐PSCs. Consequently, numerous studies have recognized the pivotal significance of the region between the perovskite absorber and the carbon electrode in C‐PSCs, proposing various interfacial engineering strategies to improve the performance of these solar cells. Given the rapid evolution of this field, an up‐to‐date and comprehensive review of C‐PSCs is in order. Key areas of focus of this review include the shift from high‐temperature to low‐temperature carbon electrodes, strategies to improve energetic alignment at the interface, novel approaches such as hole‐selective bilayers, and alternative carbon deposition methods to reduce solvent damage. Additionally, this review presents a comprehensive meta‐analysis—the first of its kind in the C‐PSC literature—to assess how various interfacial modifications impact critical C‐PSC performance metrics, offering valuable insights for future advancements in the field.This article is protected by copyright.

Over the past decade, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved significant achievements. But the golden triangle problem of commercial development, which encompasses high efficiency, high stability, and low cost, remains unresolved. Carbon materials exhibit a diverse range of morphological structures and possess numerous advantages. They are extensively used in PSCs to overcome the challenges encountered during PSCs commercialization. The PSCs utilizing graphene as the top electrodes not only deliver an impressive efficiency of 22.8%, but also show exceptional long‐term stability. The PSCs using carbon nanotubes as transparent conductive electrodes obtain an efficiency of 19%, exhibiting significant potential for scalable applications. Herein, the advantages of carbon materials as conductive electrodes are overviewed. The compatibility of carbon materials as conductive electrodes in PSCs, along with the associated challenges, regulatory strategies, and device performance are systematically discussed in terms of their intrinsic characteristics. The application of carbon materials derived from petroleum by‐products and biomass in the top electrodes of PSCs are summarized in detail. Finally, the underlying reasons why PSCs using carbon electrode show a comparatively lower efficiency when compared to conventional devices is analyzed in‐depth. The potential research directions are proposed to promote the development of carbon conductive electrodes in PSCs.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
