Research Progress of Green Solvent in CsPbBr3 Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract

In optoelectronic applications, all-Brominated inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 solar cells have received a great deal of attention because of their remarkable stability and simplicity of production. Most of the solvents used in CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells are toxic, which primarily hinders the commercialization of the products. In this review, we introduce the crystal structure and fundamental properties of CsPbBr3 materials and the device structure of perovskite cells, summarize the research progress of green solvents for CsPbBr3 PSCs in recent years from mono-green solvent systems to all-green solvent systems, and discuss the approaches to improving the PCE of CsPbBr3 PSCs, intending to facilitate the sustainable development of CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells. Finally, we survey the future of green solvents in the area of CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells.
