Organometal halide perovskites as useful materials in sensitized solar cells

Abstract

Organometal halide perovskites offer dual potential properties as a light harvester and at the same time as a hole conductor in inorganic–organic hybrid heterojunction solar cells. The sequential deposition route provides a power conversion efficiency of 15% under standard AM1.5G test conditions. In this perspective, we will briefly summarize the development of perovskite-sensitized solar cells from their first report up to the present.
