Abstract

In recent years,perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received much attention because of their unique properties.With the rapid development of PSCs technology,the photoelectric conversion efficiency of PSCs devices has continuously set a new record,and its power conversion efficiency has increased from the 3.8% in 2009 to the current 23.7%,the efficiency comparable to commercialized polycrystalline silicon solar cells,copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells.Although a lot of research work has been done on stability,its limited stability is still a key to the commercialization of PSCs.The research progress and challenges of PSCs were summarized.The problems of internal factors and external environment of PSCs on their stability,lead toxicity problems,and standardized test protocols were discussed.And pointed out that the development of new materials and new structure design with high stability under severe conditions will be the focus of the future development of PSCs.
