Abstract

Abstract:

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials have received much attention in recent years because of their super light absorption coefficient, high charge carrier mobility, ambipolar property, and simple preparation procedure. Photon conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells was raised from around 3.8% to over 20.4% in past 7 years and had potentials to be continuously enhanced. With a brief introduction of structures and optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials, development and device structures of perovskite solar cells were summarized. Further, challenging issues with current devices were explored and future development directions of perovskite solar cells were proposed.

Key words: organic-inorganic perovskite, solar energy, composites, mesoscopic structure, planar heterojunction
