Abstract
At present, there is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the climate change that threatens humanity and our planet’s ecosystems. A way to achieve this is by increasing renewable energy production, where solar photovoltaic plays a key role. However, the current commercial crystalline silicon photovoltaic technology might not be enough to achieve the required targets. In this work, we describe the latest advances of an emerging photovoltaic technology known as perovskites. In just ten years of development perovskite solar cells have matched the performance of current commercial crystalline silicon. Here, we outline how to scale and improve the stability of perovskite solar cells as well as examples of applications such as their integration with silicon solar cells, semitransparent solar cells, and their use in outer space.
