Perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells: progressive advances from technical perspectives

Tandem solar cells (TSCs) based on organic?inorganic halide perovskite have recently emerged as a new center of attraction. Among the wide array of preceding photovoltaic technologies, the industrially established copper?indium?gallium?selenide/sulfide (CIGS) solar cells offer greater advantages as...

Perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells: progressive advances from technical perspectives
description Tandem solar cells (TSCs) based on organic?inorganic halide perovskite have recently emerged as a new center of attraction. Among the wide array of preceding photovoltaic technologies, the industrially established copper?indium?gallium?selenide/sulfide (CIGS) solar cells offer greater advantages as bottom subcells for perovskite-based TSC. The controllable material composition of perovskite and CIGS allows for bandgap tuning close to the ideal values of double-junction TSC, enabling maximum photocurrent generation. Perovskite and CIGS solar cells also manifest high flexibility thanks to the thin-film nature of the devices, thereby widening their applicability in flexible and lightweight applications. With this motivation, this review systematically summarizes the technical progress of two-terminal (2T) and four-terminal (4T) perovskite/CIGS TSC development, whereby efficiencies of 24.2 % and 29.0 % have been demonstrated for the respective configurations.
