Perovskite solar cell power generation

What are perovskite solar cells?

Researchers worldwide have been interested in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to their exceptional photovoltaic (PV) performance. The PSCs are the next generation of the PV market as they can produce power with performance that is on par with the best silicon solar cells while costing less than silicon solar cells.

What are the next-generation applications of perovskite-based solar cells?

The next-generation applications of perovskite-based solar cells include tandem PV cells, space applications, PV-integrated energy storage systems, PV cell-driven catalysis and BIPVs.

Can perovskite semiconductor material improve solar power conversion efficiency?

Since 2009, a considerable focus has been on the usage of perovskite semiconductor material in contemporary solar systems to tackle these issues associated with the solar cell material, several attempts have been made to obtain more excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) at the least manufacturing cost [, , , ].

Are flexible perovskite solar cells a viable alternative energy source?

This review outlines the rapid evolution of flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) to address the urgent need for alternative energy sources, highlighting their impressive power conversion efficiency, which increases from 2.62% to over 24% within a decade.
