“…In this frame, it is observed that record cells might not share the same encapsulation strategies as more realistic, large surface cells and modules, [116] both for aging and safety reasons. [117,118] All perovskite tandem cells are even more challenging from the point of view of fabrication, [119,120] but are also very promising since they combine the potential of perovskite based cells and modules with high yields.…”

configuration, a net performance increase was recently demonstrated compared to single junction PPSC. [6] As for any optoelectronic device, light management in PPSC is of primary importance in attaining the best performance. As schematized in Figure 1, LM is expected to impact three key performance parameters: i) impinging sunlight can be efficiently collected and then absorbed leading to high J sc , ii) V oc can be enhanced as a result of the so-called photon recycling (PR), [7] provided there is strong external luminescence, [8] and the semiconductor exhibits weak non-radiative recombinations, iii) the energy yield (EY) that tends to replace the two previous criteria usually considered under standard test conditions (STC). However, for the latter, requested studies remain complex because they couple illumination models and angular-dependent optical, thermal, and electrical models of the cell for one year. [9,10] Nonetheless, simply considering the incidence angle in the evaluation of absorption and thus J sc is a first step toward EY improvement.As illustrated in Figure 1, the LM in PPSC results from three interdependent considerations: the photonic engineering (PE) at the wavelength scale, the material choices, and the nanofabrication processes. In practice, the last two directly define the PPSC architecture.In brief, regardless of the envisaged semiconductor, the LM can invoke several kinds of PE. Most frequently, the LM results in anti-reflection (AR) over the whole absorbed spectral range, leading to a larger J sc as well as possibly larger EY if the AR effect also occurs over a wide angular domain. Moreover, beyond the AR effects, light trapping (LT) mechanisms can be involved at the band edge of the perovskite material, also leading to a larger J sc , [11,12] whereas enhanced PR can enhance V oc [13] because of the absorption suppression just above the band gap under the previously mentioned conditions. This well-established PE is reviewed in more detail in Section 4.2. The LM could even be extended to the infrared domain to possibly limit the parasitic sub-band gap absorption and enhance the thermal radiation, to decrease the operating temperature. [14] Finally, for the specific case of 2T tandem PPSC, the LM is required to ensure concurrent absorption optimization and current matching between the two cells.In the specific case of metal-halide perovskites, intrinsic properties make these materials particularly relevant for LT, compared to the standard case of c-Si solar cells. First, metal-halide perovskites are direct band gap semiconductors, Light management is essential for metal-halide perovskite solar cells to achieve record performance. In this review, criteria on materials, processes, and photonic engineering are established to enhance primarily the short circuit current density for high energy yields. These criteria are used to analyze a large panel of solutions envisaged in the literature for single junction cells. In addition, a perspective acquired from rigorous electromagnetic simulations per...

“…Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have aroused fascinating research interest since the first perovskite solar cell was demonstrated, and the performance of single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been rapidly improved with the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) over 25%. [1,2] In the meantime, MHPs have emerged as promising optoelectronic materials for implementation in detectors, lasers, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), [3][4][5][6][7][8] due to their unique optical and electronic properties such as ambipolar charge transport, [9,10] broadly tunable optical bandgap, [11,12] long carrier diffusion length, [13] high charge carrier mobility, [14] ultralong carrier lifetimes, [15,16] near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), [17] and extraordinarily defect tolerance. [18,19] In recent years, huge research efforts have been made with respect to enhance the environmental stability and device performance of MHPs using various methods, including surface/interface engineering, [20][21][22][23] composition/crystalline structure optimization, [24,25] and defects engineering.…”

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have demonstrated great advances for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. However, owing to the presence of the synergy from lattice strain, defects of MHPs, and environment, MHPs suffer from phase transitions and degradation, resulting in the restriction of their practical applications and further commercialization. Multiple metal elements can coexist in MHPs to form alloys due to the high tolerance of lattice and the composition replaceability, which provides a novel strategy for improvement of performance and stability. In this review, the recent advances of alloy engineering of MHPs, focusing on the cation and the metal ion (A-and B-site) alloy strategies, are reviewed. The alloy effects on the crystalline structure, optoelectronic properties, ferroelectricity, carrier dynamics, and stability of perovskites are interpreted. Finally, the prospect of this study is the challenges in the MHPs alloy engineering.

Summary In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), defects and interfacial properties are critical and govern the device's performance. To enhance the performance, effective defect passivation and recombination reduction are crucial. This work reports phenethylammonium iodide (PEAI) treatment of lead‐excess perovskite film for low‐temperature carbon‐based PSCs. The PEAI post‐treatment leads to the formation of a crystallized (PEA)2PbI4 2D layer on top of 3D perovskite. Apart from passivating the grain boundaries, the 3D/2D stack improves the interface between perovskite and carbon, reducing the interfacial recombination. Moreover, the passivation reduces the trap state density and provides improved energy alignment with the carbon layer. The reduced defects and non‐radiative recombination resulted in performance enhancement from 10.16% to 11.76% with good reproducibility. c‐AFM and photoluminescence (PL) imaging have been performed to visualize recombination sites and passivation quality post‐PEAI treatment. Furthermore, the voltage‐dependent PL imaging of PSCs reveals rapid quenching in the maximum power point regime substantiating efficient charge extraction in passivated devices. The prepared devices show noteworthy stability retaining around 60% of initial performance after 1000 hours.
