Abstract

The power conversion efficiency for single-junction solar cells is limited by the Shockley-Quiesser limit. An effective approach to realize high efficiency is to develop multi-junction cells. These years have witnessed the rapid development of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells. The excellent optoelectronic properties and tunable bandgaps of perovskite materials make them potential candidates for developing tandem solar cells, by combining with silicon, Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ and organic solar cells. In this review, we present the recent progress of perovskite-based tandem solar cells, including perovskite/silicon, perovskite/perovskite, perovskite/Cu(In,Ga)Se₂, and perovskite/organic cells. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for perovskite-based tandem solar cells are discussed.
