Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received a great deal of attention in the science and technology field due to their outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE), which increased rapidly from 3.9% to 25.5% in less than a decade, comparable to single crystal silicon solar cells. In the past ten years, much progress has been made, e.g. impressive ideas and advanced technologies have been proposed to enlarge PSC efficiency and stability. However, this outstanding progress has always been referred to as small-area (<0.1 cm2) PSCs. Little attention has been paid to the preparation processes and their micro-mechanisms for large-area (>1 cm2) PSCs. Meanwhile, scaling up is an inevitable way for large-scale application of PSCs. Therefore, we firstly summarize the current achievements for high efficiency and stability large-area perovskite solar cells, including precursor composition, deposition, growth control, interface engineering, packaging technology, etc. Then we include a brief discussion and outlook for the future development of large-area PSCs in commercialization.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have already achieved comparable performance to industrially established silicon technologies. However, high performance and stability must be also be achieved at large area and low cost to be truly commercially viable. The fully printable triple-mesoscopic carbon perovskite solar cell (mCPSC) has demonstrated unprecedented stability and can be produced at low capital cost with inexpensive materials. These devices are inherently scalable, and large-area modules have already been fabricated using low-cost screen printing. As a uniquely stable, scalable and low-cost architecture, mCPSC research has advanced significantly in recent years. This review provides a detailed overview of advancements in the materials and processing of each individual stack layer as well as in-depth coverage of work on perovskite formulations, with the view of highlighting potential areas for future research. Long term stability studies will also be discussed, to emphasise the impressive achievements of mCPSCs for both indoor and outdoor applications.

<p>The performance of methylammonium lead triiodide (CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub>) based solar cells depends on its crystallization and controlled microstructure. In spite of its high performance, long-term stability is a paramount factor towards its large area fabrication and potential industrialization. Herein, we have employed poly(vinylidene fluoride−trifluoro ethylene) P(VDF-TrFE) as an additive into a low concentration based perovskite precursor solutions to control the crystallinity and microstructure. Perovskite layers of lower thickness can be derived from low precursor concentration, however it often suffers from severe voids and roughness. Introducing judicious quantities of P(VDF-TrFE) can improve the surface coverage, smoothness as well as reduces the grain boundaries in the perovskite. An array of characterization techniques were utilized to probe the structural, microstructural and spectroscopic properties. Impedance spectra suggests, the P(VDF-TrFE) can improve the carrier lifetimes and reduce the charge transfer resistance, which in turn allows to improve photovoltaic performance. For an optimized concentration of P(VDF-TrFE), the fabricated semi-transparent solar cells yielded power conversion efficiency in excess of 10%, which supersede pristine devices along with improved stability. The device architect and the fabrication technique provide an effective route to fabricate cost effective and visible-light-semi-transparent perovskite solar cells.</p>

In the last decade, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have greatly drawn researchers’ attention, with the power conversion efficiency surging from 3.8% to 25.5%. PSCs possess the merits of low cost, simple fabrication process and high performance, which could be one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies in the future. In this review, we focus on the summary of the updated progresses in single junction PSCs including efficiency, stability and large area module. Then, the important progresses in tandem solar cells are briefly discussed. A prospect into the future of the field is also included.
