Abstract
Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have been widely used in silicon-based tandem solar cells for their advantages of tunable bandgap, high light absorption coefficient, and high power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the maximum PCE of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs) is still below the theoretical limit. This Review describes the PSTSCs’ working principle and then summarizes the research progress in recent years, including a comparison of perovskite layers, interconnection layers, and silicon bottom cells. Then, the n-i-p PSTSCs and p-i-n PSTSCs are presented based on the PSCs’ top cells, and the main factors affecting the efficiency of PSTSCs are discussed in detail. Finally, an outlook…
