Abstract 

        The past ten years have witnessed the skyrocketing progress of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) using organic-inorganic lead halides as light absorber with current energy conversion efficiency over 24% achieved with cost-effective fabrication methods. Although the power conversion efficiency of PSCs is comparable and competitiveto other commercially available solar cells such as monocrystalline silicon solar cells, critical issues such as unsatisfactory stability and current-voltage hysteresis associated with perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are obstacles that restrict the commercialisation ofPSC technology. The root for the poor stability and hysteresis of PSCs is believed to be related with the unique properties of the perovskite material, which could be solved through material engineering and through optimized device architecture. In my talk, I will present the recent studiesaddressing issues with PSCs with focus on material engineering such as material doping and use of water-resistive hole transport materials. Dopantssuch as small molecule or alkaline cations incorporated to the perovskite film have shown dramatic effect on tuning the device hysteresis. Strategies which could overcome the stability and hysteresis issue of PSCs devices will be discussed.
