Challenges in Perovskite Solar Cells

The exploitation of fossil fuels keeps rising to satisfy the global demands­, since the beginning of the industrial revolution. In the recent survey from BP energy, the use of fossil fuels in 2019 is estimated to about 120,000 TWh . Although the use of fossil fuels causes a great threat to the environment, their role in the economic growth of a country is inevitable. In recent years, the government around the world has realized the engraving situation induced by the use of fossil fuel and began to introduce the policies on renewable sources of energy  [ 1 ] . Owing to these new policies, the use of a renewable source of energy such as solar, wind and hydroelectric power grew to new heights. In order to promote the wide use of these technologies, cost effective technologies like Perovskite solar cells were introduced. Between 2013-2020, the efficiency of Perovskite solar cells (PSC) reached to 26.1% and continues to increase, in a far cheaper processing cost than the silicon solar c...
