“…Within less than a decade, perovskite–Si TSC has demonstrated its potential by securing 31.3% and 29.6% PCE for 4‐terminal (4T) and 2‐terminal (2T) TSC PCE, respectively. [ 13 ] It is worth mentioning that record single‐junction silicon solar cell (SSC) PCE has not taken any further steps from 26.7% since 2017. This unprecedented success has highlighted the substantial evidence for commercializing perovskite/Si TSCs.…”

As the balance of system (BOS) cost of PV installations governs the competitiveness of the photovoltaic device market, next‐generation solar cells desire substantially enhanced power conversion efficiencies (PCE). The single‐junction perovskite and Si solar cells have demonstrated PCEs beyond 26 % and 25 %, respectively. A rationale approach to circumvent this challenging milestone of higher PCEs is to complement wide‐bandgap top perovskites with market‐driven high‐efficiency Si bottom solar cells to realize the highly efficient perovskite‐Si tandem solar cell. The tandem configuration has crossed the threshold posed by the S‐Q limit by demonstrating the 33.9 % PCE. However, the unresolved issues in the perovskite community from a stability perspective pose challenges for realizing highly efficient and stable perovskite‐Si tandem solar cells. This review highlights the current status of perovskite‐Si TSC from a stability perspective besides elucidating the degradation mechanisms at the perovskite‐Si at the cell and module level. A highly efficient perovskite‐Si tandem solar cell needs to be optimized keeping view the specific requirements for tandem configuration like strain, current matching, and band gap optimization between the top perovskite and bottom Si subcell.A variety of stressors affecting the efficiency of the perovskite‐Si module, namely reverse bias and hot spot formation, potential induced degradation (PID), and delamination, highlight valuable insight to develop future strategies for the perovskite‐Si TSC. Stability regimes for the single‐junction perovskite solar cell can provide the essential stepping stone. However, modified stability regimes can incorporate the unique aspects of tandem architecture to realize highly efficient and stable perovskite‐Si tandem solar cells.This article is protected by copyright.

“…The most common type of 4T TSC is the mechanically stacked (4T-MS) conguration. 11,12 On the other hand, the 2T TSC, in which both electrical and optical coupling occur, requires fewer processing steps and fewer electrical contacts than 4T TSCs. For a 2T TSC, there can be two types: 2T monolithic (2T-M) where the top cell is fabricated directly on the bottom cell and 2T mechanically stacked (2T-MS), 13 where the cells are fabricated independently and then joined in series at the electrode level (wafer bonding or similar).…”

The cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite solar cell possesses a wide band gap ranging from 1.65 to 1.75 eV, which is suitable for integration into a tandem structure along with a low-band-gap silicon solar cell. Moreover, CsPbI3 has received considerable attention as a potential solution for the prevalent issues of low thermal stability of organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells and phase segregation encountered in conventional mixed halide wide-band-gap perovskite solar cells. Through the implementation of volatile additives, CsPbI3 has demonstrated substantial advancements in efficiency, process temperature, and stability. This study introduces a novel approach for barium (Ba)-doping by spraying an antisolvent containing barium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) during the spin-coating process. By incorporating Ba2+ through this spraying technique, the formation of the delta phase in CsPbI3 is significantly suppressed; thereby, a power conversion efficiency of 18.56% is achieved, and a remarkable 93% of the initial efficiency is maintained after 600 h.
