Perovskite materials offer a great potential in the application of semitransparent solar cells, owing to the tunable bandgap, ease of preparation and excellent photovoltaic property. A majority of works exhibit high average visible-light transmittance (AVT) for semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) through decreasing perovskite thickness, leading to sacrificing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the device. Herein, a wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite of Cs FA Pb(I Br ) is applied as absorber in ST-PSCs, which is a tremendous progress to balance both large PCE and high AVT. Moreover, a strategy of simultaneous interfacial modification and defect passivation is provided to enhance the performance of WBG ST-PSCs. Consequently, an inverted planar structure WBG perovskite solar cell (PSC) achieves 15.06% of PCE with excellent stability by restraining the interfacial energy loss and suppressing the nonradiative recombination. Furthermore, the ST-PSC obtains high PCE of 14.40% with an AVT of 38% by means of optimizing the transparent electrode. This work provides an efficient and simple method to improve the performance and AVT of ST-PSCs for the application in building-integrated photovoltaics.

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.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to evaluate the environmental impacts of various lead (Pb) recycling processes in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The analysis identifies solvent recovery and reuse as critical factors in reducing environmental harm, highlighting the need for optimized recycling methods to enhance the sustainability of PSCs.

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.
