Preface for Special Topic: Perovskite solar cells—A research update

Lukas Schmidt-Mende, Laura M. Herz

APL Materials· Volume 4· Issue 9

Abstract

Over the last few years, tremendous progress has been made in the research field of perovskite solar cells. Not only are record power conversion efficiencies now exceeding 20%, but our understanding about the different mechanisms leading to this extraordinary performance has improved phenomenally. The aim of this special issue is to review the current state-of-the-art understanding of perovskite solar cells. Most of the presented articles are research updates giving a succinct overview over different aspects concerning perovskite solar cells.
