Perovskite Photovoltaics: Navigating Stability Challenges for Enhanced Efficiency

In the field of photovoltaics (PVs), perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) have become a game-changing technology, boasting impressive improvements in cell efficiency and providing a promising substitute for conventional silicon, inorganic, and organic solar cells. Herein, the in-depth analysis over the numerous stability problems that PSCs face, including both extrinsic problems like moisture, UV light, and temperature stability and intrinsic problems like hysteresis effects and metal-perovskite reactions, is examined. This article illuminates the cutting-edge techniques used to improve PSC stability, thereby paving the way for their commercial viability. This review makes a significant contribution to the ongoing search for higher PV performance by offering a thorough analysis of the developments, challenges, and potential of perovskite-based solar cells. It investigates printing methods, stability issues, uses, and the special qualities of perovskite materials, ultimately advancing comprehension and the creation of high-efficiency PSCs. This review addresses ongoing stability challenges, providing insights into enhancing commercial viability. The unique properties of perovskite materials show promise to surpass traditional silicon cells, marking a significant stride in high-efficiency photovoltaics.image (c) 2023 WILEY-VCH GmbH
