Perovskite has emerged as a promising light-harvesting material for solar cells due to its higher absorption coefficient, bandgap tunability, low-exciton binding energy, and long carrier diffusion length. These lead to high power conversion efficiency >25% for thin film-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Additionally, PSCs can be fabricated through simple and cost-effective solution processable techniques, which make this technology more advantageous over the current photovoltaic technologies. Several solution-processable methods have been developed for fabrication of PSCs. In this chapter, the advantages and disadvantages of various solution processable techniques and their scope for large-scale commercialization will be discussed.
