Metal‐Organic Framework Materials in Perovskite Solar Cells: Recent Advancements and Perspectives

Abstract Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are among the most promising candidates for the next generation of photovoltaic devices because of the significant increase in their power conversion efficiency (PCE) from less than 10% to 25.7% in past decade. The metal‐organic framework (MOF) materials owing to their unique properties, such as large specific surface area, abundant binding sites, adjustable nanostructures, and synergistic effects, are used as additives or functional layers to enhance the device performance and long‐term stability of PSCs. This review focuses on the recent advancements in the applications of MOFs as/in different functional layers of PSCs. The photovoltaic performance, impact, and advantages of MOF materials integrated into the perovskite absorber, electron transport layer, hole transport layer, and interfacial layer are reviewed. In addition, the applicability of MOFs to mitigate leakage of Pb²⁺ from halide perovskites and corresponding devices is discussed. This review concludes with the perspectives on further research directions for employing MOFs in PSCs.
