Overview
ABSTRACT
Converting solar energy into electricity using low-cost materials and processes remains challenging. The very recently emerging hybrid perovskite solar cells are based on materials with remarkable opto-electronic and structural properties. This article shows how these compounds are integrated in photovoltaic cells, and the various techniques used for their preparation are described. The various cell architectures reported in the literature are described. The other materials used in the devices are presented, and the importance of their optical and electronic properties for the efficient functioning of the devices is explained.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.
