High‐performance Perovskite‐based Tandem Solar Cells: Recent Advancement, Challenges, and Steps Towards Industrialization

Abstract

As a result of an ongoing global dedication, metal‐halide perovskite (PVSK) has proven to be a promising substitute among other developed materials for next‐generation photovoltaic cells due to significantly high efficiency, economical, environmentally friendly processing, and bandgap alterations. In just twelve years, PVSK‐based single cells achieved an efficiency of 26.1%, reaching single‐crystal silicon solar cells at 27.6% and silicon heterostructure solar cells at 26.8%. PVSK‐based tandem cells also achieved remarkable attention as a viable candidate for future‐generation photovoltaic technology. Presently, a considerable number of reports documented as evidence of the efforts to integrate the wide bandgap (WBG) PVSK either with itself (narrow bandgap perovskite (NBG‐PVSK) or other traditional (NBG) cells, including silicon (Si), copper‐indium‐gallium‐selenide (CIGS), organic solar cells (OSCs), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and dye‐sensitized. Thanks to the substantial growth made in the advances of PVSK‐based tandem cells both in the laboratories and commercialization sector. This review will systematically elucidate the emergence of PVSK‐based cells, their current status, and applications in tandem configurations. Furthermore, this survey will cover the analysis of different strategies and efforts to achieve cutting‐edge PV technology. Finally, the commercialization of different PVSK‐based tandem technologies and their prospects were analyzed.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
