Abstract: Perovskite solar cells and perovskite-based tandem cells have become an international research focus in the field of photovoltaics. Organic and inorganic halide perovskite materials exhibit some advantages, like high absorption coefficient, adjustable band gap, and simple preparation process. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of single junction perovskite solar cells have developed rapidly from 3.8% in 2009 to 25.2% at present and the PCE of monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell have reached 29.15%. There are two device architectures currently dominating in the field of perovskite solar cells: mesoporous type and planar heterojunction. Nume-rous research efforts have been performed,including a high-quality perovskite absorber layer and charge transport layers with good photoelectric performance to improve the efficiency of charge extraction, through advanced technologies such as passivation engineering, additive engineering, energy level matching engineering, component engineering, etc. The device efficiency with high quality functional layers can reach over 22%. However, conventional perovskite materials have poor stability problem under the light, humidity and thermal condition. Quasi-two-dimensional and all-inorganic perovskite solar cells are also developed by changing the composition of the absorption layer, which is more suitable for practical applications. Considering different application scenarios, perovskite solar cells can be designed as flexible and semi-transparent devices and transparent conductive electrodes are the key part in them. Among perovskite-based tandem solar cells, tandem devices combining perovskite and silicon solar cells are promising candidates to achieve power conversion efficiencies above 30% at reasonable costs. By optimizing light trapping strategies and additive engineering and other methods to reduce optical and electrical losses, one can significantly improve the efficiency of perovkkite/Si tandem solar cells without significant increase in material costs. In this paper,the history of device development, device types and structures, characteristics of functional layer material, performance optimization strategy of perovskite solar cells and typical perovskite/Si tandem cells are introduced in detail. Also, the challenges of perovskite solar cells and perovskite-based tandem cells, as well as development trends, are summarized and prospected.
