Recent Progress in All-Inorganic Hybrid Materials for Energy Conversion Applications

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the previously reported all-inorganic perovskite solar cells and future perspectives. Energy demand has increased with the increasing population globally. A photovoltaic device, also called solar cell device, has been proven an effective approach to fulfill the energy requirements. Perovskite solar cells have received numerous attentions by the materials scientists globally. The perovskite solar cells exhibited excellent power conversion efficiency, which is much close to the commercial Si solar cells. The perovskite solar cells involve organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite light absorbers or all-inorganic perovskite structures. In recent years, enormous efforts and strategies were made by the scientific community to achieve the high performance of the all-inorganic perovskite solar cells. All-inorganic perovskite solar cells have the potential application at large-scale production for commercial purposes. Herein, we have reviewed the recent advances in the developments of all-inorganic perovskite solar cells using cesium lead/tin halide perovskite light absorbers. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
