Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have the potential to produce solar energy at a low cost, with flexibility, and high power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, there are still challenges to be addressed before mass production of PSCs, such as prevention from degradation under external stresses and the uniform, large-area formation of all layers. Among them, the most challenging aspect of mass production of PSCs is creating a high-quality perovskite layer using environmentally sustainable processes that are compatible with industry standards. In this review, we briefly introduce the recent progresses upon eco-friendly perovskite solutions/antisolvents and film formation processes. The eco-friendly production methods are categorized into two: (1) employing environmentally friendly solvents for perovskite precursor ink/solution, and (2) replacing harmful, volatile antisolvents or even limiting their use during the perovskite film formation process. General considerations and criteria for each category are provided, and detailed examples are presented, specifically focused on the works have done since 2021. In addition, the importance of controlling the crystallization behavior of the perovskite layer is highlighted to develop antisolvent-free perovskite formation methods.
