Perovskite (PSK) materials have received extensive attention because of their potential use as the active layer of different applications, including capacitors, sensors and detectors, memories, catalysts, fuel cells, and optoelectronic devices (solar cell and light‐emitting diode). Herein, the past, current, and future status of these applications are focused on. The state of each application is investigated using diverse technology indicators. It reveals that among all the applications, the optoelectronic application is the youngest one and has not yet reached the technology growth stage though it possesses most of the recently published patents. Using a technology investment potential evaluation method, the most potent area for investment is explored, indicating that detectors and sensors are the ones with the biggest investment potentials. Remarkably, PSK solar cell dedicates more than 70% of the patents to itself with the highest predicted efficiency of 30% that will be achieved in 2023 according to the curve fitting method and in 2030 according to the S‐curve method. As a perspective, currently, the highest efficiency and stability are achieved for small‐sized PSK solar cells, it is expected that they would be commercialized in electronic equipment applications first, and after overcoming the challenges, large‐scale modules would enter the markets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
