For the first time, perovskite solar cells were demonstrated in 2009, and since then have been the subject of intense study. Due to the fact that perovskite has a band gap zone with direct transitions, it absorbs light more efficiently than silicon, and a thin layer is required to produce a solar cell, which can be obtained by precipitation from solution, which significantly reduces the cost of production of perovskite solar cells. Recently organic-inorganic hybrid lead-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) achieved a certified energy conversion efficiency of 23.7%. Among the various types of PSCs, carbon-based hole-conductor-free perovskite solar cells (CPSCs) were gradually recognized as the most promising for the commercialization with the advantages of low cost, high stability and easy fabrication. Here we review the latest developments in the field of printable carbon-based hole-conductor-free perovskite solar cells.
