From Wide-Bandgap to Narrow-Bandgap Perovskite: Applications from Single-Junction to Tandem Optoelectronics

As perovskite solar device is burgeoning photoelectronic device, numerous studies to optimize perovskite solar device have been demonstrated. Amongst various advantages from perovskite light absorbing layer, attractive property of tunable bandgap allowed perovskite to be adopted in many different fields. Easily tunable bandgap property of perovskite opened the wide application and to get the most out of its potential, many researchers contributed as well. By precursor composition engineering, narrow bandgap with bandgap of less than 1.4 eV and wide bandgap with bandgap of more than 1.7 eV were achieved. Optimization of both narrow and wide bandgap perovskite solar cell could pave the way to all-perovskite tandem solar cell which is combination of top cell with wide bandgap and bottom cell with narrow bandgap. This review highlights numerous efforts to advance device performance of both narrow and wide bandgap perovskite solar cell and how they challenged the issues. And finally, efforts to operate and utilize all-tandem perovskite device in real world will be discussed.
