Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have rapidly advanced as a promising new photovoltaic generation technology. In a decade, a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 26% was achieved, comparable to silicon-based traditional solar cells. However, their stability and sustainability still need to be improved before commercialization. The potential replacement of some of the inorganic components in the PSCs with organic ones could address these concerns as the organic components may offer the advantages of being biodegradable, low cost, and easily processed, with the potential of protecting the perovskite from the ambient environment. Thus, this review focuses on the recent developments in organic electron transport materials (ETMs) and hole transport materials (HTMs). Additionally, machine-learning insights and perspectives for future research directions are proposed for the advancements of PSCs.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
