“…In 2013, Stoumpos et al [40] studied the characteristics of tin and lead iodide perovskites with organic cations using millimeter single crystals, in agreement with the results of Baikie et al [41]. The pioneer work on the growth of centimeter-sized (10 mm × 10 mm × 8 mm) MAPbI3 bulk single crystal was done by Dang et al [42] in 2014. From then on, more and more techniques have been adopted to grow organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite single crystals and even fully inorganic halide perovskite single crystals.…”

“…Dependent on the different fixed positions of the seed crystals, bottom seeded solution growth (BSSG) and top seeded solution growth (TSSG) methods have been developed. Tao's [42] group adopted the BSSG method to grow MAPbI3 bulk single crystals. The small seeded crystal was fixed to the middle of a designed tray.…”

widely commercialized, but possiblities to increase their performance are limited, because nowadays the so-called balance of systems (BoS) cost of PV modules makes up most of the cost. [ 1 ] As much of the BoS scales with area, performance improvement seems the only way to decrease the cost of PV power further. Therefore, new PV cells are sought either to allow for higher effi ciencies than what is possible with Si PV without cost increase, or, as explained in section 3.4, to provide lowcost added effi ciency to Si PV. Emerging solar cells such as dye-sensitized, bulkheterojunction and quantum-dot solar cells can be fabricated via low-temperature solution processing, that holds promise for low-cost large scale application, but best power conversion effi ciencies (PCE) are half of, or less than that of the best commercial Si PV cells. [ 2 ] This is where perovskite solar cells enter, as for the fi rst time in PV history it is possible to produce high-effi ciency cells at low monetary and energy costs, with apparent ease of fabrication from earth-abundant, readily available raw materials. The PCE for perovskite solar cells has increased from 2.2% to 20.1% since 2006, showing an inviting vista of commercialization. [ 3,4 ] Perovskite solar cells are named after the crystal structure of the light absorbers, the structure of the mineral CaTiO 3 . Many compounds with ABX 3 stoichiometry take this structure, where A and B are 12-and 8-coordinates cations, respectively, and X is the anion. [ 4 ] Of the many ABX 3 only few are suitable to be efficient light absorbers for solar cells due to requirements such as appropriate bandgap for good light-harvesting ability, energy level/band alignment with contacting materials, long charge carrier lifetime, τ, and high mobility, µ. Perovskites generally have divalent anions, and the strong electrostatic bonding mostly makes their (high) bandgaps not suitable for solar PV. Mitzi et al. initiated using perovskites containing halides, ammonium cations and Sn 2+ in optoelectronic devices, which formed the basis for the development of perovskites for solar cells. [ 5 ] Here we will focus on such halide perovskites, together with one divalent (Pb 2+ ) and one monovalent (mostly CH 3 NH 3 + ) cation. The most effi cient halide perovskite solar absorbers consist of organic ammonium ions (CH 3 NH 3 + or NH = CHNH 3 + ), Pb 2+ and halide ions (I − , Br − ).[ 4 ] CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 possesses broad and intense light absorption. It is an ambipolar semiconductor (can be n-or p-type), and its charge carriers can have long diffusion lengths and lifetimes, which allow excellent PCE for solar cells made with it. [3][4][5][6] Another advantage of perovskite absorbers is the low-temperature solution-processing ability, which helps

Organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites are currently a most attractive class of materials since they have emerged as a solar cell material that realizes both high efficiency and simple low-cost fabrication. The power conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells now exceed 22%, which is comparable to that of commercially available CIGS and CdTe thin film solar cells. The key to further improvement is understanding the physical origin of the high efficiency of the perovskite solar cells, and a tremendous effort to come closer to this target has been made through numerous experiments.In this review article, we discuss the optoelectronic properties of perovskite CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 (X = I and Br) solar cell materials. Special attention is given to the free carrier recombination and photon recycling (the re-absorption of photons emitted by radiative recombination of photocarriers) processes in CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 single crystals, because a deep understanding of these processes is crucial for improving the solar cell performance. Lead halide perovskites show unique optical properties, e.g., extremely high quantum efficiency of luminescence, small Urbach tail in the absorption spectra, and long lifetime of photocarriers, which all suggest a low density of
