Abstract

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are of great interest due to their potential for breaking the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction silicon solar cells. Perovskite solar cells are widely used as the top subcells in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells due to their high efficiency and lower fabrication cost. Herein, we review the semi-transparent perovskite solar cell in terms of the mechanisms of their translucent structure, transparent electrodes, charge transport layer, and component modification. In addition, recent progress in the research and development of 4T perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells is summarized, with emphasis on the influence of perovskite structure and silicon cells on the progress of tandem solar cells. Finally, we discuss the challenges associated with 4T perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells and suggest directions for the development of perovskite/silicon commercialization.
