Article Abstract
Perovskite solar cells have made significant strides in recent years. However, there are still challenges in terms of photoelectric conversion efficiency and long-term stability associated with perovskite solar cells. The presence of defects in perovskite materials is one of the important influencing factors leading to subpar film quality. Adopting additives to passivate defects within perovskite materials is an effective approach. Therefore, we first discuss the types of defects that occur in perovskite materials and the mechanisms of their effect on performance. Then, several types of additives used in perovskite solar cells are discussed, including ionic compounds, organic molecules, polymers, etc. This review provides guidance for the future development of more sustainable and effective additives to improve the performance of solar cells.

Among all types of tandem solar cells (TSCs), the two-terminal (2T) monolithic silicon-perovskite TSCs have achieved an efficiency of approximately 34.85% and show potential for commercialization because they align with well-established silicon-based solar cell technology. This review focuses on 2T monolithic silicon-perovskite TSCs, discussing their deployment along with related technical and scientific issues.

Recently, halide perovskite materials have attracted significant research interest in photoelectrochemical cells as promising photoabsorbers due to their superior optoelectronic properties. However, their instability under environmental conditions remains a major obstacle to the development of stable water-splitting devices. This review thoroughly examines the growing array of encapsulation strategies that have accelerated the integration of perovskite materials into water-splitting systems.

Sequential deposition technique is widely used to fabricate perovskite films with large grain size in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Residual lead halide (PbI) in the perovskite film tends to be decomposed into metallic lead (Pb) under long-term heating or light soaking. Here, a chiral levetiracetam (LEV) dopant containing α-amide and pyrrolidone groups is introduced into the PbI precursor solution.

Establishing a low-resistance perovskite/ITO contact using self-assembled molecules (SAMs) is crucial for efficient hole transport in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) without a pre-deposited hole-transporting layer. However, SAMs at the buried interface often encounter issues like nonuniform distribution and molecular aggregation during the extrusion process, leading to significant energy loss. Herein, a molecular hybrid bridging strategy by incorporating a novel small molecule is proposed, (2-aminothiazole-4-yl)acetic acid (ATAA), featuring a thiazole ring and carboxylic acid group, along with the commonly used SAM, 4-(2,7-dibromo-9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid (DMAcPA), into the perovskite precursor to synergistically optimize the buried interface.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are rapidly advancing due to their high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and low fabrication costs. However, their commercialization is hindered by lead toxicity and the use of expensive materials, such as Spiro-OMeTAD and gold electrodes. This study presents a comprehensive SCAPS-1D simulation-based analysis of 14 perovskite absorber materials, spanning both Pb-based and lead-free compounds, under a unified device architecture using low-cost, nontoxic components: ZnO as the electron transport material (ETM), PEDOT:PSS + WO as a dual hole transport material, and nickel as the back contact.
