Perovskite solar cells based on organometal halides represent an emerging photovoltaic technology due to its low cost and high-efficiency. Perovskite solar cells stem from dye-sensitized solar cells. However, the liquid-based perovskite solar cell receives little attention because of its stability issues including instant dissolution of the perovskite in a liquid electrolyte. Unlike the liquid-based perovskite, the efficiency of perovskite-based solar cells has increased rapidly from 3.8% in 2009 to 19.3% in 2014 by using the all-solid-state thin-film architecture and engineering cell structures with mixed-halide perovskites. The emergence of perovskite solar cells revolutionized the field not only because of their rapidly increased efficiency but also flexibility in material growth and architecture. The superior performance of the perovskite solar cells suggested that perovskite materials possess intrinsically unique properties. Since PCE values over 20% are realistically anticipated with the use of cheap organometal halide perovskite materials, perovskite solar cells are a promising photovoltaic technology. In this talk, the optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials and recent progresses in perovskite solar cells will be discussed. We also discuss some current challenges of using perovskites in solar cells along with possible theoretical solutions.
