Research Progress on Stability of FAPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract

The formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI₃) perovskite has emerged as a promising material for high-efficiency photovoltaic applications. Although a power conversion efficiency of more than 26% has been achieved, stability issues have hindered its commercial application. In this study, the stability of FAPbI₃ under adverse conditions such as humidity, oxygen, ultraviolet light, and temperature fluctuations is systematically reviewed. The known effective strategies for improving stability are discussed. Current studies have shown that technologies such as doping, halide alloying, additive manufacturing engineering, and interface modification have been identified as effective in mitigating phase transitions of FAPbI₃ and enhancing environmental durability. Encapsulation technology further improves moisture and heat resistance. Compared with other stabilization strategies, doping and alloying can address the adverse effects of narrowing of the absorption edge. Interface engineering has an essential understanding of the stability mechanism, which will greatly improve the stability problem in the practical application of FAPbI₃. This paper also looks forward to the future research directions and development trends.
