Therefore, single-crystal perovskite solar cells (SC-PSCs) have recently received significant attention in the fabrication of highly efficient and stable PSCs owing to their synergistic properties. The development of advanced SC-PSCs represents a promising pathway to fabricate highly efficient and stable perovskite-based 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.
Additionally, several other methods have been employed for the growth of single crystals, particularly perovskite single crystals. The following sections provide a brief description of certain growth methods used to obtain single crystals, demonstrating their potential for photovoltaic applications. 3.1.
Conventional solar cells consist of crystalline semiconductors based on Si, Ge, and GaAs. Such solar cells possess higher efficiency and stability than polycrystalline solar cells, and SC-PSCs are inferior to PC-PSCs in terms of efficiency.
In just over a decade, the power conversion efficiency of metal-halide perovskite solar cells has increased from 3.9% to 25.5%, suggesting this technology might be ready for large-scale exploitation in industrial applications. Photovoltaic devices based on perovskite single crystals are emerging as a viable alternative to polycrystalline materials.
