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.
During the past few decades, crystalline silicon solar cells are mainly applied on the utilization of solar energy in large scale, which are mainly classified into three types, i.e., mono-crystalline silicon, multi-crystalline silicon and thin film, respectively .
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.
Multi and single crystalline are largely utilized in manufacturing systems within the solar cell industry. Both crystalline silicon wafers are considered to be dominating substrate materials for solar cell fabrication.
The first generation of the solar cells, also called the crystalline silicon generation, reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency or IRENA has reached market maturity years ago . It consists of single-crystalline, also called mono, as well as multicrystalline, also called poly, silicon solar cells.
Being the most used PV technology, Single-crystalline silicon (sc-Si) solar cells normally have a high laboratory efficiency from 25% to 27%, a commercial efficiency from 16% to 22%, and a bandgap from 1.11 to 1.15 eV [4,49,50].
