Development on inverted perovskite solar cells: A review

Recently, inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs) have received note-worthy consideration in the photovoltaic domain because of its dependable operating stability, minimal hysteresis, and low-temperature manufacture technique in the quest to satisfy global energy demand through renewable means. In a decade transition, perovskite solar cells in general have exceeded 25 % efficiency as a result of superior perovskite nanocrystalline films obtained via low temperature synthesis methods along with good interface and electrode materials management. This review paper presents detail processes of refining the stability and power conversion efficiencies in IPSCs. The latest development in the power conversion efficiency, including structural configurations, prospect of tandem solar cells, mixed cations and halides, films' fabrication methods, charge transport material alterations, effects of contact electrode materials, additive and interface engineering materials used in IPSCs are extensively discussed. Additionally, insights on the state of the art and IPSCs' continued development towards commercialization are provided.
