In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have experienced rapid development and have presented an excellent commercial prospect as the PSCs are made from raw materials that are readily and cheaply available depending on simple manufacturing techniques. However, the commercial production and utilization of PSCs remain immature, leading to substantial efforts needed to boost the development of scalable fabrication of PSCs, pilot scale tests, and the establishment of industrial production lines. In this way, the PSCs are expected to be successfully popularized from the laboratory to the photovoltaic market. In this review, the history of power conversion efficiency (PCE) for laboratory-scale PSCs is firstly introduced, and then some methods for maintaining high PCE in the upscaling process is displayed. The achievements in the stability and environmental friendliness of PSCs are also summarized because they are also of significance for commercialization. Finally, this review evaluates the commercialization prospects of PSCs from the economic view and provides a short outlook.

Context: Exploration for renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources has become a major challenge to overcome the depletion of fossil fuels and their environmental hazards. Therefore, solar cell technology, as an alternative solution, has attracted the interest of many researchers. In the present work, the CsXInBr (X = Cu or Ag) compounds as lead-free halide perovskites have been studied due to their direct energy gap in the range of solar energy, thermodynamic stability, low effective mass of electrons, and high absorption coefficient.

Perovskite solar cells have been of great interest over the past decade, reaching a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 26.7%, which is comparable to best performing silicon devices. Moreover, the capability of perovskite solar cells to be solution-processed at low cost makes them an ideal candidate for future photovoltaic systems that could replace expensive silicon and III-V systems.

Organic-inorganic formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI) hybrid perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have garnered considerable attention in the photovoltaic field due to their narrow bandgap, exceptional environmental stability, and prolonged carrier lifetime. Unfortunately, their insulating ligands and surface vacancy defects pose significant obstacles to efficient charge transfer across device interfaces. In this work, an electrostatic harmonization strategy at the interface using a donor-acceptor dipole molecular attachment to achieve enhanced charge separation capabilities on the QD surface is ventured.

Printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (p-MPSCs) provide an opportunity for low-cost manufacturing of photovoltaics. However, the performance of p-MPSCs is severely compromised by iodine defects. This study presents a strategy by incorporating polyaniline (PANI) to achieve both iodine recycling and iodine defect passivation to significantly improve the performance of p-MPSCs.
