Abstract

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs) have emerged as a promising technology for photovoltaic energy harvesting and have already exceeded the limits of traditional single-junction solar cells. Despite recent power conversion efficiency values nearing 35%, perovskite/silicon TSCs still exhibit a considerable efficiency deficit relative to their theoretical upper limit. Scientific and technological challenges related to the long-term operational stability and scalability must also be addressed for this technology to be commercialized. This Review provides an overview of state-of-the-art perovskite/silicon TSCs with particular attention to three key areas: efficiency, stability and scalability. The Review concludes with a critical overview of the remaining challenges and future perspectives for the further development of this technology.
