The role of carbon-based materials in enhancing the stability of perovskite solar cells

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells have been at the center of intense research over the past decade. Efficiencies have gone from single digits to a certified 25.2%, an unprecedented improvement for any solar cell technology. At this stage, stability remains a concern regarding the suitability of these solar cells for commercialization. Here, we review recent developments in the use of carbon materials to improve the stability of perovskite solar cells. Incorporating carbon materials into perovskite solar cells promises to be revolutionary in the solar cell field, as degradation mechanisms are alleviated to achieve long-term stability making them attractive for commercialization.
