Because of the varying rates at which multi-metal ions hydrolyze, pure-phase materials are challenging to obtain using this method. Consequently, the perovskites produced using this method have low mass activities [173, 174].

Experiments have shown that the lifetime of PSCs at 35 °C is about 0.7 years if 25% degradation is used as a standard. It is significantly less than the lifetime of crystalline silicon solar cells (Wang and Hou, 2021). Fig. 10 summarizes the factors that influence the performance of perovskite solar cells. Fig. 10.
The Perovskite/Si tandem cell has a 27.48% of PCE and is stable in nitrogen for 10,000 h (Li et al., 2021b). However, when compared to perovskite solar cells, the stability issue in silicon solar cells is much better, lasting nearly 30 years.
Tandem structures combining perovskites with other materials could push solar cell efficiencies beyond current limits. As production scales up, PSCs are expected to be used in diverse markets, from portable electronics to utility-scale solar farms.
