Recent Advances in the Combined Elevated Temperature, Humidity, and Light Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising candidates for further photovoltaic technology. However, the instability issue remains a major obstacle hampering their commercialization. Since perovskites are sensitive to external stressors including elevated temperature, humidity, and light, and the decomposition of perovskite under these combined stressors could largely aggravate and accelerate PSCs degradation, the stability aging test under combined stressors has been recognized as the harshest and the most important requirements for PSCs stability evaluation. Herein, the degradation mechanisms of PSCs at elevated temperature, humidity, and light illumination conditions are analyzed. Further, the recent progress on improving the stability of PSCs under combined stressors including 85% relative humidity/85 °C damp heat aging test and light and elevated temperature induced degradation aging test is summarized. The predictions for the further development of effective strategies for improving the stability of PSCs are provided at the end of this review.
