Abstract
All-perovskite tandem solar cells (APTSCs) offer a promising pathway to surpassing the efficiency limits of single-junction photovoltaics. The wide-bandgap (WBG) subcell, serving as the top absorber, plays a critical role in optimizing light harvesting and charge extraction in tandem architectures.

All-perovskite tandem solar cells (APTSCs) offer a promising pathway to surpassing the efficiency limits of single-junction photovoltaics. The wide-bandgap (WBG) subcell, serving as the top absorber, plays a critical role in optimizing light harvesting and charge extraction in tandem architectures. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advancements in WBG subcells, focusing on material design, defect passivation strategies, and interfacial engineering to address challenges such as phase instability, halide segregation, and voltage losses. Key innovations, including compositional tuning, additive engineering, and charge transport layer optimization, are critically analyzed for their contributions to efficiency and stability enhancement. Despite significant progress, challenges remain regarding scalability, long-term stability under illumination, and cost-effective fabrication. Future research directions include the development of lead-reduced perovskites, machine learning-guided material discovery, and scalable deposition techniques. This review provides insights into advancing WBG subcells toward high-efficiency, stable, and eco-friendly APTSCs for next-generation solar energy applications. Full article

Perovskite-based solar cells are a promising photovoltaic technology capable of offering higher conversion efficiency at low costs compared with the standard of the market. They can be produced via a thin film technology that allows for considerable environmental sustainability, thus representing an efficient, sustainable, flexible, and light solution. Tandem solar cells represent the next step in the evolution of photovoltaics (PV). They promise higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) than those currently dominating the market. The tandem solar cell design overcomes the limitations of single junction solar cells by reducing the thermal losses as well as the manufacturing costs. Perovskite has been employed as a partner in different kinds of tandem solar cells, such as the Si and CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) based cells that, in their tandem configuration with perovskite, can convert light more efficiently than standalone sub-cells. This brief review presents the main engineering and scientific challenges in the field. The state-of-the-art three main perovskite tandem technologies, namely perovskite/silicon, perovskite/CIGS, and perovskite/perovskite tandem solar cells, will be discussed, providing a side-by-side comparison of theoretical and experimental efficiencies of multijunction solar cells.

Herein, we reported the simulation study of lead (Pb)-free all-perovskite tandem solar cells using SCAPS-1D. Tandem solar cells are comprised of two different cells which are known as the top cell and the bottom cell. We simulated tandem solar cells using methyl ammonium germanium iodide (MAGeI3) as the top subcell absorber layer due to its wide band gap of 1.9 eV. Further, FA0.75MA0.25Sn0.25Ge0.5I3 = FAMASnGeI3 was used as the bottom subcell absorber layer due to its narrow band gap of 1.4 eV. The tandem solar cells were simulated with MAGeI3 as the top cell and FAMASnGeI3 as the bottom subcell using SCAPS-1D. Various electro-transport layers (ETLs) i.e., titanium dioxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, tungsten trioxide, and zinc selenide, were used to examine the impact of ETL on the efficiency of tandem solar cells. The observations revealed that TiO2 and ZnSe have more suitable band alignment and better charge-extraction/transfer properties. A reasonably improved efficiency of 23.18% and 22.4% have been achieved for TiO2 and ZnSe layer-based tandem solar cells, respectively. Full article
