ABSTRACT
The quest for high-efficiency and highly stable solar cells is still under process. Novel functional materials such as perovskites and their derivatives have been comprehensively explored as a set of adaptable materials for applications in photovoltaics (PVs), by which high-efficiency solar panels can be accomplished at low cost. However, understanding degradation issues, developing infrastructure, and experimental challenges is a big concern for scientists and the researchers working in this field. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview on the evolution of solar cells from 1 G to 4 G, anatomy, working principle, prior state of the art, the challenges, and future prospects of transition metal oxide (TMO) perovskites in attaining highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.
