Abstract
Summary Perovskite solar cells carry the banner for emerging photovoltaics since they have demonstrated power conversion efficiency values well above 20%, which were traditionally only accessible for fairly established technologies such as silicon. Indeed, ABX 3 perovskite materials have revolutionized solar cells due to their ease of processing and outstanding electronic and optical properties, which make them ideal candidates for the development of multi-junction devices aiming to surpass limits associated to stand-alone technologies. In this review we discuss the latest regarding this matter. First, we introduce standard materials and processing techniques involved in the preparation of state-of-the-art perovskite solar cells. We then discuss the development of perovskite-based tandem devices in which ABX 3 perovskite acts as the active material in the top subcell and Si, CIGS, polymer, or ABX 3 act as bottom subcells. Finally, we provide the reader with a discussion on the different lines of research that this rapidly developing field may follow.
