Emerging organometal halide solar cells have attracted wide attention as “perovskite solar cells (PSCs)” from very many researchers, and the related articles more than 4000 have been published to date. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 22% was achieved within a few years from the advent of the PSCs. In this review article, publications about the PSCs were summarized along their ‘submitted date’, to record the course of the progress. At the first stage, the PSCs were established as nano-structured solar cells. The efficiency up to 15% attracted the researchers in dye-sensitized solar cells and organic thin-film solar cells. After the appearance of planar hetero-junction type PSCs, the power generation mechanism has been argued. Around that time, several issues arose, such as I–V hysteresis and chloride contents. Although there were several severe comments about these issues, the developments of the PSCs progressed steadily, then efficiencies over 20% were reported. At present, the highest PCE in published papers is 22.6%, and the NREL chart records 22.7%. The development history of the PSCs is summarized in this review.

新兴的有机金属卤化物太阳能电池已被许多研究人员称为“钙钛矿型太阳能电池（PSC）”，引起了广泛的关注，迄今已发表了4000多篇相关文章。自PSC问世以来的几年内，功率转换效率（PCE）已超过22％。在这篇评论文章中，有关PSC的出版物沿其“提交日期”进行了汇总，以记录进度。在第一阶段，将PSC建立为纳米结构的太阳能电池。高达15％的效率吸引了染料敏化太阳能电池和有机薄膜太阳能电池的研究人员。在平面异质结型PSC出现之后，人们就提出了发电机理。大约在那时，出现了一些问题，例如IV磁滞和氯化物含量。尽管对这些问题有一些严厉的评论，但PSC的发展稳步发展，据报道效率超过20％。目前，已发表论文的最高PCE为22.6％，而NREL图表记录为22.7％。本综述总结了PSC的发展历史。
