Abstract

The power conversion efficiency for single-junction solar cells is limited by the Shockley-Quiesser limit. An effective approach to realize high efficiency is to develop multi-junction cells. These years have witnessed the rapid development of organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells. The excellent optoelectronic properties and tunable bandgaps of perovskite materials make them potential candidates for developing tandem solar cells, by combining with silicon, Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and organic solar cells. In this review, we present the recent progress of perovskite-based tandem solar cells, including perovskite/silicon, perovskite/perovskite, perovskite/Cu(In,Ga)Se2, and perovskite/organic cells. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for perovskite-based tandem solar cells are discussed.
