Inorganic Halide Perovskite Solar Cells: Progress and Challenges

摘要

All-inorganic perovskite semiconductors have recently drawn increasing attention owing to their outstanding thermal stability. Although all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved significant progress in recent years, they still fall behind their prototype organic-inorganic counterparts owing to severe energy losses. Therefore, there is considerable interest in further improving the performance of all-inorganic PSCs by synergic optimization of perovskite films and device interfaces. This review article provides an overview of recent progress in inorganic PSCs in terms of lead-based and lead-free composition. The physical properties of all-inorganic perovskite semiconductors as well as the hole/electron transporting materials are discussed to unveil the important role of composition engineering and interface modification. Finally, a discussion of the prospects and challenges for all-inorganic PSCs in the near future is presented.
