Nano-Micro Letters, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: May 9, 2023

Abstract With an excellent power conversion efficiency of 25.7%, closer to the Shockley–Queisser limit, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a strong candidate for next-generation energy harvester. However, lack stability and reliability in PSCs remained challenging commercialization. Strategies, such as interfacial structural engineering, more critical influence on enhanced performance. MXenes, two-dimensional materials, emerged promising materials cell applications due their metallic electrical conductivity, high carrier mobility, optical transparency, wide tunable work function, superior mechanical properties. Owing different choices transition elements surface-terminating functional groups, MXenes possess feature tuning which is essential metric band alignment between absorber layer charge transport layers extraction collection PSCs. Furthermore, adopting respective components helps reduce recombination resistance provides smooth transfer paths, leading conductivity operational This review paper aims provide overview components, classified according roles additives (into layer, layers, electrodes) themselves alone or significant importance terms device performance stability. Lastly, we discuss present research status future directions toward its use
