Abstract

A solar cell is a device that converts directly sunlight into electricity. crystal structure as CaTiO3 known as the perovskite structure. Perovskite solar cells are recorded with 26% efficiency with low processing cost and high stable characteristics. In this report, few problems are highlighted which is needed to be resolved for much better perovskite solar cell like toxicity, durability, cost-effectiveness. we present the lead-free perovskite light absorbers for solar cell application, and the challenges in this field are also discussed. Keywords: Energy, perovskite, solar cell, source
