Short review on self-healing perovskite Materials: Advances and prospects

Abstract

One primary area of research the world over is regarding the consumption of energy without causing harm to our environment. In this paper, a review of current advancements in the sphere of combining photovoltaic devices with self-healing technology is presented. The durability of solar cells is a crucial aspect for long-term usage. The two different categories of systems investigated herewith are polycrystalline self-healing perovskites and lead-free self-healing perovskites. There have been in-depth discussions on current trends in the selection of organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite materials for perovskite solar cells, as well as significant elements that affect the operations of solar cells. This article provides a thorough overview of current developments in the field of self-healing perovskites and presents a roadmap for creating lead-free self-healing perovskites that are more durable, stable, and effective.
