Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells: A Prospective on the Substitution of the A Cation and X Anion

Abstract

In recent years, organometal trihalide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for low-cost, flexible, and highly efficient solar cells. Despite their processing advantages, before the technology can be commercialized the poor stability of the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials with regard to humidity, heat, light, and oxygen has be to overcome. Herein, we distill the current state-of-the-art and highlight recent advances in improving the chemical stability of perovskite materials by substitution of the A-cation and X-anion. Our hope is to pave the way for the rational design of perovskite materials to realize perovskite solar cells with unprecedented improvement in stability.

Management of Crystallization Kinetics for Efficient and Stable Low‐Dimensional Ruddlesden–Popper (LDRP) Lead‐Free Perovskite Solar Cells

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Much effort devoted in photovoltaic field, including material optimization, structural optimization, and interface engineering, has allowed the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) quick increase to 23.3%, [18] which is comparable to state-of-the-art commercial photovoltaic techniques, such as silicon and other thin-film solar cells.

The Emergence of the Mixed Perovskites and Their Applications as Solar Cells

“…[35][36][37] Motivation to study mixed PVSK for PSCs has arisen because pure PVSK compounds, e.g., MAPbX 3 , FAPbX 3 and CsPbX 3 (X = Br or Cl), are facing several significant challenges during practical operation due to their poor stability.…”

Progress in organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite single crystal: growth techniques and applications

“…Currently, perovskite thin films have been under intensive investigation and most reported applications have focused on polycrystalline thin films. Accordingly, a lot of recent reviews regarding the progress in perovskites concentrate on their polycrystalline film form [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Although the study of perovskite single crystals is just in its early stage, it is highly desirable to investigate fundamentally intrinsic properties of perovskites due to their low trap density and absence of grain boundaries.…”
