Abstract

This chapter refers to the recent breakthrough of perovskite solar cell as the pioneer in the next-generation photovoltaics. The working mechanism explains the high performance; various structure including mesoscopic structure, meso-superstructure, and thin-film structure are compared; and extensive materials are carefully and systemically discussed. Then the flexible photovoltaics were demonstrated in detail, evolving to the fiber-shaped perovskite solar cell. Furthermore, the fiber-shaped perovskite solar cell realizes stretchability through delicate structure design. Finally, the perspective for the further development tendency was presented.
