Ge Ziyi, Chang Liu and others from Ningbo Institute of Materials, Chinese Academy of Sciences, outline the rapid development of flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSC) to meet the urgent need for alternative energy sources, with device efficiency increasing from 2.62% to over 24% within ten years.
The unique optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials and their inherent mechanical flexibility, which are crucial for the development of f-PSCs , were investigated. Various strategies proposed for material modification and device optimization significantly improve efficiency and bending durability.
In addition to challenges and innovative solutions related to film uniformity and environmental stability, the transition from small devices to large-area photovoltaic modules for a variety of applications is discussed. This review provides a concise yet comprehensive insight into the development of f-PSCs, paving the way for their incorporation into various applications and highlighting their potential in the field of renewable energy.
