Lead-based halide perovskite solar cells have demonstrated outstanding power conversion efficiencies; however, lead toxicity and challenges associated with large-area fabrication hinder their
Inorganic cells have much higher efficiencies than other types of solar cells, but the materials used are highly crystalline in nature and have a regular solid-state lattice.
However, the industry faces challenges such as high production costs, material availability, and competition from emerging technologies like organic photovoltaics and perovskite solar cells.
The rationale behind tandem solar cell technologies, particularly those combining inorganic/organic, inorganic/perovskite, and organic/perovskite materials, is grounded in the quest to overcome the
