“…The choice of electrodes shown in Figure 2 depends on the type of ETL and HTL materials in a structure, as the electrodes play a crucial role in the degradation of the PSCs and in modulating the performance. [50,51] The work function of the electrode serving as an anode should match the HOMO level or valence band of the HTM. In contrast, in the case of the cathode, it should match the LUMO level or conduction band of ETL, depending upon whether the material of ETL/HTL is organic or inorganic.…”

In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been in huge demand because of their ease of production, low cost, flexibility, long diffusion length, lightweight, and higher performance than their counterparts. The PSCs have demonstrated remarkable progress with power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 25.7% using FAPbI3 as an active layer component. However, lower PCE and device stability restrict PSCs' commercial viability. Further, the photocurrents in PSCs are close to the maximum Shockley–Queisser (SQ) limit. The focus now is on enhancing the open‐circuit voltage and fill factor through modifying charge‐selective contacts, the morphology of perovskite material, and interface modification. The large grain size, uniformity, and coverage area distinguish the crucial factors affecting the PCE of PSCs. Long‐term device stability and degradation mechanisms have also shown significant dependence on the device structure. Therefore, the tailoring of the device structure continues to play a crucial role in the device's performance and stability. In this review, the illustration of the structural development of perovskite solar cells, including advanced interfacial layers and their associated parameters, is discussed in detail. In addition, the challenges that hinder the PSCs' performance are also discussed.

To overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit, studies have focused on improving the efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) through several optimization and tandem‐structure design strategies. Furthermore, the significance of emerging transparent front electrodes (TFEs), which exert a direct and substantial influence on the performance of PSCs, is on the rise. Therefore, further research must be conducted to validate these effects in improving the existing performance of PSCs. Thus, this study developed a composition‐engineered indium tin oxide (CE‐ITO) TFE that outperforms commercial ITO (C‐ITO; 10 at.% Sn doped ITO) for efficient and stable PSCs. The CE‐ITO electrode (7.50 at.% Sn doped ITO) has a large columnar structure and good thermal stability, which are ideal for high‐performance PSCs. Compared to C‐ITO, CE‐ITO has a smoother surface, higher conductivity, lower resistivity, and improved optical transmittance in the active layer. These contribute to the larger perovskite active‐ and electron‐transport layers, less active‐layer degradation, and lower shunt resistance. The various merits of CE‐ITO enable high‐performance PSCs with a maximum power conversion efficiency of 23.35% and long‐term stability by simply substituting C‐ITO with optimal CE‐ITO.
