Perovskite solar cell

<p>A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of <a href="/facts/Solar_cell/3L814UCC">solar cell</a> that includes a <a href="/facts/Perovskite_structure/Gu39aNyo">perovskite-structured</a> compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic <a href="/facts/Lead/EYljasJN">lead</a> or <a href="/facts/Tin_based_perovskite_solar_cells/VsT3gEEj">tin halide-based material</a> as the light-harvesting active layer. Perovskite materials, such as <a href="/facts/Methylammonium_lead_halide/buYxFXBx">methylammonium lead halides</a> and all-inorganic cesium lead halide, are cheap to produce and simple to manufacture.
</p><p><a href="/facts/Solar-cell_efficiency/Au9KQeed">Solar-cell efficiencies</a> of laboratory-scale devices using these materials have increased from 3.8% in 2009 to 25.7% in 2021 in single-junction architectures, and, in silicon-based tandem cells, to 29.8%, exceeding the maximum efficiency achieved in single-junction silicon solar cells. Perovskite solar cells have therefore been the fastest-advancing solar technology as of 2016<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Perovskite_solar_cell&action=edit">[update]</a>.  With the potential of achieving even higher efficiencies and very low production costs, perovskite solar cells have become commercially attractive. Core problems and research subjects include their short- and long-term stability.
