Organic-inorganic halide perovskites solar cells (PSCs) has emerged as reasonable alternative for the predominating PV technologies (Crystalline silicon solar cells) available in market. In a span of a decade, perovskites have achieved an efficiency from 3.8% in 2009 to 23.7% in 2018. In spite of this giant leap in efficiency, it is still plagued by problems surrounding its photovoltaic performance. The stability of the best performing perovskite solar cells is just a year compared to 25 years in commercial silicon cells. Many of these problems have been addressed by using different methods of preparation, using novel materials and by engineering its device architecture. There has not been a comprehensive review on the performance of perovskite solar cell which includes both the stability and efficiency of the solar cell. These are the main evaluating factors in establishing a commercial success of perovskite solar cell. This review summarises recent research trends on perovskites solar cells which includes its thin film preparation, novel electron transport layers (ETL) and hole transport layers (HTL) used for its device architecture and the common challenges faced which offers an insight on future developments.

有机-无机卤化物钙钛矿太阳能电池（PSC）已成为市场上可用的主要PV技术（结晶硅太阳能电池）的合理替代品。在过去的十年中，钙钛矿的效率从2009年的3.8％提高到2018年的23.7％。尽管效率实现了巨大的飞跃，但仍然受到围绕其光伏性能问题的困扰。性能最佳的钙钛矿太阳能电池的稳定性仅需一年，而商用硅电池则需要25年。这些问题中的许多已经通过使用不同的制备方法，使用新颖的材料并通过工程化其器件架构来解决。对于钙钛矿太阳能电池的性能尚未进行全面的综述，包括太阳能电池的稳定性和效率。这些是建立钙钛矿太阳能电池商业成功的主要评估因素。这篇综述总结了钙钛矿太阳能电池的最新研究趋势，包括其薄膜制备，用于其器件架构的新型电子传输层（ETL）和空穴传输层（HTL）以及所面临的共同挑战，这些都为未来的发展提供了见识。
