Photovoltaic technology using perovskite solar cells has emerged as a potential solution in the photovoltaic makings for cost-effective manufacturing solutions deposition/coating solar cells. The hybrid perovskite-based materials possess a unique blend from low bulk snare concentrations, ambipolar, broad optical absorption properties, extended charge carrier diffusion, and charge transport/collection properties, making them favourable for solar cell applications. However, perovskite solar cells devices suffer from the effects of natural instability, leading to their rapid degradation while bared to water, oxygen, as well as ultraviolet rays, are irradiated and in case of high temperatures. It is essential to shield the perovskite film from damage, extend lifetime, and make it suitable for device fabrications. This paper focuses on various device strategies and computational attempts to address perovskite-based solar cells' environmental stability issues.
