I will give a quick overview of recent progress and future prospects of perovskite tandem solar cells reported in the literature. I will then talk about some of the research activities in my group. Specifically, We will discuss how our perovskite-Si tandem cell monolithic integration strategy has evolved from interface-layer-free design to ultra-thin interface layer design due to the switch from homo-junction Si cells to hetero-junction Si cells for the bottom stack. Recent results include 27.2% power conversion efficiency with a fill factor of 82.4% on 1.0 cm2; 24.2 % efficient 11.8 cm2 cell; and 21.1 % efficient 65.1 cm2 (~4-inch round) cell. I will also talk about the evolution from p-i-n to n-i-p tandem demonstrations. In addition, I will present our results of 20% 3-junction tandem and recent innovations on low-bandgap and high-bandgap perovskites with very high fill factors for the demonstration of perovskite-perovskite tandems with very good yield.
