The potential of perovskites as absorbers in photovoltaic devices is fully exploited when used in multi‐junction devices, due to their remarkable band gap tunability.
Can perovskite solar cells be used in multi-junction applications?
This shows the high potential of perovskite solar cells in multi-junction applications. Perovskite/perovskite/silicon triple-junction solar cells are now the next step to achieve efficient and low-cost multi-junction solar cells with an efficiency potential even higher than that for dual-junction solar cells.
Are perovskite multi-junction (tandem) solar cells suitable for CO2 RR?
As far as we are aware, until now, there has been no effort in designing perovskite multi-junction (tandem) solar cells for CO 2 RR despite many groups having reported high-efficiency perovskite triple-junction solar cells.
Are all-perovskite tandem solar cells better than single-junction solar cells?
All-perovskite tandem solar cells hold the promise of surpassing the efficiency limits of single-junction solar cells1-3; however, until now, the best-performing all-perovskite tandem solar cells have exhibited lower certified efficiency than have single-junction perovskite solar cells4,5.
How efficient are perovskite-based triple-junction solar cells?
This is, to our knowledge, the first reported certified efficiency for perovskite-based triple-junction solar cells. The triple-junction devices retain 80 per cent of their initial efficiency following 420 h of operation at the max. power point. This article has not yet been cited by other publications.
Are perovskite solar cells stable?
The long-term stability of PSCs represents a key obstacle for their commercial deployment. Perovskite materials typically used in solar cells have been shown to be unstable when exposed to oxygen, water, heat, and light.
What are the next-generation applications of perovskite-based solar cells?
The next-generation applications of perovskite-based solar cells include tandem PV cells, space applications, PV-integrated energy storage systems, PV cell-driven catalysis and BIPVs.
