In this study, a team of researchers developed the first perovskite solar cell with a lifetime of about 30 years, opening the pathway to commercialization. They achieved this long-lasting lifetime by studying the degradation process of their devices using several scientific tools.
5.2. Perovskite thin-film degradation Unpackaged perovskite solar cells degrade within a few hundred hours of exposure to air with a relative humidity greater than 50% . Moisture induces a combination of reversible and irreversible changes in the film, depending on the extent of exposure.
For perovskite solar panel technology to be commercially successful, experts and perovskite solar cell manufacturers have to work on solving several challenges of this technology, focusing specifically on producing efficient mass-manufacturing processes, perovskite solar cells with larger sizes, and increasing the lifespan of the cell.
This adaptability is ideal for mobility applications like drones and car roofs. However, while silicon solar cells are robust with 25-30 years of lifespans and minimal degradation (about 0.8% annually), perovskite solar cells face long-term efficiency and power output challenges.
Perovskite-silicon tandem cells have reached efficiencies of almost 34%. While perovskite solar cells have become highly efficient in a very short time, perovskite PV is not yet manufactured at scale and a number of challenges must be addressed before perovskites can become a competitive commercial PV technology.
The name "perovskite solar cell" is derived from the ABX 3 crystal structure of the absorber materials, referred to as perovskite structure, where A and B are cations and X is an anion. A cations with radii between 1.60 Å and 2.50 Å have been found to form perovskite structures.
