1. Introduction Perovskite solar cell materials and devices 1 have been of large interest among researchers working with emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies for the past few years. Perovskite solar cells have achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) comparable to 30–40 year old solar cell technologies, feasible with just a 300 nm perovskite layer made by solution

Moreover, perovskite materials have shown potential for solar-active electrode applications for integrating solar cells and batteries into a single device. However, there are significant challenges in applying perovskites in LIBs and solar-rechargeable batteries.
Owing to their good ionic conductivity, high diffusion coefficients and structural superiority, perovskites are used as electrode for lithium-ion batteries. The study discusses role of structural diversity and composition variation in ion storage mechanism for LIBs, including electrochemistry kinetics and charge behaviors.
As predicted, the perovskite PV manufacturing cost ($32/m 2) is about 42% that of the commercialized c-Si ($76/m 2) solar panels and 2% of the commercialized a-Si indoor PV ($2000/m 2, small manufacturing yield). (8−10) Such low embodied energies for PIPVs make their energy payback time much shorter than that of the established a-Si IPV.
In various dimensions, low-dimensional metal halide perovskites have demonstrated better performance in lithium-ion batteries due to enhanced intercalation between different layers. Despite significant progress in perovskite-based electrodes, especially in terms of specific capacities, these materials face various challenges.
The long-term stability of PSCs represents a key obstacle for their commercial deployment. Perovskite materials typically used in solar cells have been shown to be unstable when exposed to oxygen, water, heat, and light.
