Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been skyrocketing the field of photovoltaics (PVs), displaying remarkable efficiencies and emerging as a greener alternative to the current commercial technologies.
A PSC can be used as a top cell, and the narrower bandgap Si or CIGS is placed at the bottom. A tandem solar cell was realized for the GaAs-based device using an epitaxial growth method, while Si or CIGS could not be successful in a tandem structure.
