Because of several issues related to the polycrystalline form of perovskites, researchers are now focusing on single-crystal perovskite solar cells (SC-PSCs). Conventional solar cells consist of crystalline semiconductors based on Si, Ge, and GaAs.
The perovskite single crystal is superior to polycrystalline films in all optical and electrical properties, demonstrating that single-crystal solar cells should be more efficient and stable. Based on this expectation, single-crystal PSCs were proposed, and great progress was made in this field.
The basic parameters of solar cells include the open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current density (Jsc), FF, and power conversion efficiency (PCE). Metal halide single-crystal PSCs are promising for higher efficiency and improved stability, but their development lags far behind that of their polycrystalline counterparts.
Even with a large number of grain boundaries, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of polycrystalline based single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has achieved a certified value of 26%, catching up to the efficiency of commercial single-crystal silicon solar cells .
Single crystal based solar cells as the big new wave in perovskite photovoltaic technology. Potential growth methods for the SC perovskite discussed thoroughly. Surface trap management via various techniques is broadly reviewed. Challenges and potential strategies are discussed to achieve stable and efficient SC-PSCs.
Challenges and possible solutions Research on the photovoltaic applications of single-crystal perovskite is in its early stages, where the gradual but continuous development of single-crystal-based PSCs have led to the utility of single-crystal perovskites for fabricating highly stable and efficient PSCs.
