In the past 10 years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have undergone extremely rapid development, with a record certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.7%, which is very close to the limit efficiency. However, the inherent instability caused by ion migration impedes the realization of long-term operationally stable PSCs. In this review, the types and mechanisms of ion migration occurring in various functional layers of negative-intrinsic-positive (n-i-p) PSCs are summarized. Additionally, methods of suppressing ion migration are systematically discussed. Finally, the prospects of current challenges and future development directions are proposed to advance the achievement of high-performance regular PSCs with high stability and PCE.

Wide-bandgap (WB) mixed-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) play a crucial role in perovskite-based tandem solar cells (TSCs), enabling them to exceed the Shockley–Queisser limits of single-junction solar cells. Nonetheless, the lack of stability in WB perovskite films due to photoinduced phase segregation undermines the stability of WB PSCs and their TSCs, thus impeding the commercialization of perovskite-based TSCs. Many efforts have been made to suppress photoinduced phase segregation in WB perovskite films and significant progresses have been obtained. In this review, we elaborate the mechanisms behind photoinduced phase segregation and its impact on the photovoltaic performance and stability of devices. The importance role of advanced characterization techniques in confirming the photoinduced phase segregation are comprehensively summarized. Beyond that, the effective strategies to alleviate photoinduced phase segregation in WB mixed halide PSCs are systematically assessed. Finally, the prospects for developing highly efficient and stable WB PSCs in tandem application are also presented.
