Perovskite Solar Fibers: Current Status, Issues and Challenges
Perovskite-based solar cells with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are currently being demonstrated in solid-state device designs. Their elevated performances can possibly be attained with different non-standard geometries, for example, the fiber-shaped perovskite solar cells, in the light of careful design and engineering. Fiber-shaped solar cells are promising in smart textiles energy harvesting towards next-generation electronic applications and devices. They can be made with facile process and at low cost. Recently, fiber-shaped perovskite solar devices have been reported, particularly with the focus on the proof-of-concept in such non-traditional architectures. In this line, there are so many technical aspects which need to be addressed, if these photovoltaic (PV) cells are to be industrialized and produced massively. Herein, a well-organized and comprehensive discussion about the reported devices in this arena is presented. The challenges that need to be addressed, the possible solutions and the probable applications of these PV cells are also discussed. More still, the perovskite fiber-shaped PV cells with other fiber PV devices reported in literature in terms of their scope, characteristic designs, performances, and other technical considerations have been summarised.
