Description
Summary:The growing global energy demand and environmental issues associated with fossil fuels highlight the need for sustainable alternatives and among which solar energy plays a key role. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are rapidly developing and being considered as a disruptive photovoltaic technology. Particularly PSCs can be made flexible, which offer advantages such as being lightweight and highly adaptable, making them suitable for a wider range of applications. However, flexible solar cells face the dual challenges of insufficient flexibility and lower power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to their rigid counterparts. Cross-linking polymerization is considered a promising approach to simultaneously improve both the flexibility and PCE of solar cells. Therefore, this study primarily focuses on summarizing the application of cross-linked polymers in flexible PSCs. By categorizing and reviewing the utilization of cross-linked polymers, the goal is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of how this technology effectively enhances the flexibility of height performance PSCs.
