Rapid technological growth within the decade makes it the most potent among third-generation photovoltaics. Since its introduction in 2009, photoconversion efficiencies (PCE) of perovskite solar cells has hiked from 3.9% to 25.8% by 2021. Despite the swift increase in PCE, perovskite photovoltaics have to cross many hurdles to reach the stage

Heeger et al. established it in 1995 [2] that the bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) structure was a viable method for fabricating PSCs. In a typical BHJ structure, the photoactive layer that absorbs solar radiation and converts it into electricity is a mixture of an electron donor (D) and an electron acceptor (A) (PC61BM or PC71BM, respectively

Masuko, K. et al. Achievement of more than 25% conversion efficiency with crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell. IEEE J. Photovolt. 4, 1433–1435 (2014). Yoshikawa, K. et al. Silicon heterojunction solar cell with interdigitated back contacts for a photoconversion efficiency over 26%. Nat. Energy 2, 17032 (2017).
The second generation introduces thin-film solar cells, such as the amorphous silicon (a-Si) cells used in small electronic devices, cadmium telluride (CdTe) cells with their cost-effective production, and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) cells that promise higher efficiency.
This record was later surpassed by LONGi with a 26.8% Si heterojunction (SHJ) front- and back-contact solar cell in 2022 10. These achievements are guiding efforts in improving Si solar cell performance through combining the heterojunction technology with the back-contact structure.
As a result, conjugated polymers with multifunctional capabilities will be beneficial in lowering total material utilisation and achieving cost-effective perovskite solar cells. Even though PKSCs' efficiency has increased to above 25 %, their commercialisation has been limited by the devices' inherent instability.
Both hetero-junctions produce strong electric potential which separate the photo-generated charge carriers through their fields 37. The ETL transports the electrons from the perovskite to the cathode, while the HTL transports the holes to the anode. Figure 1 a shows the PSC structure.
