Abstract
Faced with the increasingly serious energy and environmental crisis in the world nowadays, the development of renewable energy has attracted increasingly more attention of all countries. Solar energy as an abundant and cheap energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources. While high-performance solar cells have been well developed in the last couple of decades, the high module cost largely hinders wide deployment of photovoltaic devices. In the last 10 years, this urgent demand for cost-effective solar cells greatly facilitates the research of solar cells. This paper reviews the recent development of cost-effective and high-efficient solar cell technologies. This report paper covers low-cost and high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. The development and the state-of-the-art results of perovskite solar cell technologies are also introduced.
Highlights
About 85% of the world’s energy requirements are currently satisfied by exhaustible fossil fuels that have detrimental consequences on human health and the environment
Driven by the urgent need of cost-effective, high-efficient solar cells, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been intensively investigated in the recent years
We summarize the recent development of high-efficiency PSCs
Summary
About 85% of the world’s energy requirements are currently satisfied by exhaustible fossil fuels that have detrimental consequences on human health and the environment. Practical, low-cost, and high-efficiency third-generation solar cells are yet to be demonstrated.
