“…In the particular case of a two-terminal device, it is not possible to make use of the light emitted as a result of radiative recombination in the layer between subcells. In all cases, optical strategies such as photonic crystals, 130-132 metamaterials, 133 surface textures, 134,135 light scatterers, 136 or metallic nanostructures exhibiting plasmonic resonances 117 can be used to provide the device with efficient photon delivery. Also, photonic architectures could be considered if accurate control of the angular dependence of the absorbed light is needed.…”

Perovskite solar cells carry the banner for emerging photovoltaics since they have demonstrated power conversion efficiency values well above 20%, which were traditionally only accessible for fairly established technologies such as silicon. Indeed, ABX 3 perovskite materials have revolutionized solar cells due to their ease of processing and outstanding electronic and optical properties, which make them ideal candidates for the development of multi-junction devices aiming to surpass limits associated to stand-alone technologies. In this review we discuss the latest regarding this matter. First, we introduce standard materials and processing techniques involved in the preparation of state-of-the-art perovskite solar cells. We then discuss the development of perovskite-based tandem devices in which ABX 3 perovskite acts as the active material in the top subcell and Si, CIGS, polymer, or ABX 3 act as bottom subcells. Finally, we provide the reader with a discussion on the different lines of research that this rapidly developing field may follow.
