Abstract
Countries all around the world have long depended on fossil fuels to power industrial development and economic expansion since the Industrial Revolution. However, the global political and economic landscape has grown more complex in recent years as the world entered the post-pandemic age. An unstable energy supply-demand pattern has resulted from a number of factors, including the pandemic, natural disasters, diplomacy, and conflict. The ability of nations all around the world to buffer against energy emergencies is being put to the test by the shrinking supply of fossil fuels. As a result, a growing number of perceptive people are focusing on solar energy, which is a new form of sustainable energy. Perovskite solar cells’ experimental photovoltaic efficiency is currently getting close to the 30% theoretical limit, but a number of problems need to be fixed before they can be used commercially. Perovskite solar cells are outlined in this overview along with some research findings on stability augmentation, defect passivation, and fabrication process improvements.
