Abstract

Perovskite photovoltaic cells have pulled in much consideration on account of their fast ascent to 23% PCE. Here, in this paper the quick development of PSCs has been reviewed, as they entered into the stage that could upgrade the industry of photovoltaics. Specifically, in this paper, the recent advancements in the architectures of perovskite photovoltaic cells, various blends used to develop perovskite photoactive layers have been portrayed. The remarkable advances of long-haul strength are talked about, and this paper gives an attitude towards what the eventual fate of PSCs may soon bring the photovoltaic group.
