Abstract

Abstract : Perovskite‐based solar cells (PSCs) are some of the most promising devices for capturing photovoltaic energy. Efficiency has increased from single digits to a certified 25.7%, an unprecedented improvement for any solar cell technology. Incorporating carbon materials into perovskite solar cells promises to be revolutionary in the solar cell field by increasing stability, decreasing manufacturing costs, and making them attractive for commercialization. Here, an overview of the advances in carbon‐based perovskite solar cells (C–PSCs) that incorporate different carbon materials as back contact on different device architectures is presented. An overview of PSC architectures and high‐ and low‐temperature C–PSCs is provided. Additionally, recent advances in the main carbon materials applied in the field, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, and biocarbon, are presented. Finally, a summary of carbon materials applied to C–PSCs is provided. Abstract : Carbon‐based perovskite‐based solar cells are one of the most promising devices for capturing photovoltaic energy, to meet the growing energy demand of the global population. Incorporating carbon materials into perovskite solar cells promises to be revolutionary in the solar cell field. Improving stability, decreasing manufacturing costs, and making them attractive for commercialization.
