Two-dimensional hybrid perovskite solar cells: a review

The production of electricity is important, suitable and secure for human living, yet electricity is actually generated mainly from fossil fuels and nuclear energy, calling for renewable energies such as solar, wind and tidal renewable energies such as solar, wind and tidal. Solar energy is broadly harvested by various types of solar cells. Three-dimensional perovskite solar cell exhibits high power conversion efficiency of 25.2% with low stability, whereas two-dimensional perovskite solar cell exhibits better stability with moderate power conversion efficiency. Hence, we review two-dimensional perovskite solar cells fabricated with varying numbers of hybrid two-dimensional perovskite layers, organic cations, deposition techniques, the addition of additives and capping layers to improve power conversion efficiency with long-term better stability.
