Recent Advances and Perspectives of Photostability for Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract

Abstract Halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention in the next generation of photovoltaic devices due to their low material costs, simple preparation process, and excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the poor photostability severely limits their commercial application. In this review, the degradation mechanism of PSCs under different light conditions, and various recovery mechanisms are discussed in detail, including i) the degradation of hybrid perovskite under visible light and ultraviolet (UV) light; ii) the degradation of inorganic perovskite under the mixed conditions of oxygen, moisture, and light; iii) the superoxide promoted degradation of perovskite under the combined action of photo‐oxygen; iv) photoinduced ion migration and phase segregation in mixed halide perovskites. Moreover, recent approaches to improve the photostability of PSCs are further summarized and discussed. Among them, the interface modification, the structural optimization of perovskite layer, the material selection of carrier transport layers, and the associated encapsulation technology of PSCs are essential to the photostability of PSCs. A perspective and outlook toward more photo‐stable PSCs are further given.
