OverviewAdvantagesMaterials usedProcessingToxicityPhysicsArchitecturesHistory
A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead or tin halide-based material as the light-harvesting active layer. Perovskite materials, such as methylammonium lead halides and all-inorganic cesium lead halide, are cheap to produce and simple to manufacture.
Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have been identified as a game-changer in the world of pho-tovoltaics. This is owing to their rapid development in performance efficiency, increasing from 3.5% to 25.8
In 2009, Miyasaka and coworkers first demonstrated the perovskite materials in solar cell applications .They used CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 as sensitizer in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) which exhibit the PCE of 3.81%. Subsequent investigations disclosed that the OHIP materials are extremely interesting candidates for solar cell applications.
The application of perovskites to solar technology did not surface until 2009, when a research team in Japan is credited with introducing the first perovskite solar cell. The team reported a

In just 10 years of research, perovskite solar cells have a high power conversion efficiency when compared to silicon solar cells. However, it is anticipated that stability issues with perovskite solar cells will be resolved in the future with the continuous study. The first perovskite/Si two-terminal tandem solar cell was reported in 2015
Our research proposes to harness this potential through the development of solar cells. This can be achieved for example through the development of novel cells using polymer of small dye molecules to absorb light and convert it into electricity, or by designing systems mimicking photosynthesis, through our multidisciplinary “artificial leaf” programme.
Currently, the reported experimental efficiency of Pb-free perovskite cells in the field of HaP solar cells is generally below 15%, and the highest recorded efficiency is shown for FASnI3 solar cells with 15.7%. 50, 51 The SLME value of the perovskite component predicted by our method is 21.5%, which shows a discrepancy compared to the experimental value.
Half a century after its discovery, in 1892, Horace L. Wells at the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University, discovered the first synthetic halide (a binary compound made up of halogen and

Interest in perovskite solar cell (PSC) research is increasing because PSC has a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE), which has notably risen to 28.3 %. However, commercialization of PSCs faces a significant obstacle due to their stability issues. Efficiencies of first prepared solar cells were around 3 %–4 % in 2009 .

The origin of perovskite solar cells can be traced back to 1839, when a German scientist, Gustav Rose, during a trip to Russia, discovered a new calcium titanate-based mineral in the Ural Mountains, which was named “perovskite,” in honor of the Russian mineralogist Lev von Perovski.
It was named by its discoverer Gustav Rose in 1839, in honour of noted Russian mineralogist Lev Aleksevich von Perovski. Later, in 1892, the first synthesis of a cesium lead halide perovskite material in history was successfully performed. This is important because it is the basis for the chemical composition of modern perovskite solar cells (PSC).
Perovskite solar cells have therefore been the fastest-advancing solar technology as of 2016. With the potential of achieving even higher efficiencies and very low production costs, perovskite solar cells have become commercially attractive. Core problems and research subjects include their short- and long-term stability.
