Lead halide based perovskites have emerged as promising active materials for photovoltaic cells. Enormous efforts have been devoted to device fabrication and optimization leading to power conversion efficiencies exceeding 22%, which gives perovskite solar cells the competitive advantage over many other well-known solar technologies. Despite superb efficiencies achieved in laboratory-scale devices, it was soon recognized that long-term stability was rapidly compromised under ambient conditions and such instability could jeopardize the future of perovskite solar cells. [1-3]
In the present communication, main intrinsic stability problems related to the photochemistry of hybrid perovskite are addressed and current strategies to overcome these problems are analyzed.
