Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are an increasingly promising photovoltaic (PV) technology, as their power conversion efficiency has increased from less than 4% at the outset of research in 2009 to over 25% today [1 – 4]. Metal halide and hybrid perovskites adopt the general ABX3 chemical formula and crystallize in the perovskite structure, where the A-site is typically occupied by an organic cation like methylammonium or an alkali ion like Cs, the B-site is occupied by a metal cation like Pb, and the X-site is occupied by a halide ion like Cl.

Higher energy densities can be achieved primarily through pairing high voltage, high-capacity cathodes with Li-metal anodes. To enable the use of next generation elevated voltage cathode materials with lithium-metal anode, stabilizing cathode coatings can be affixed to improve interfacial structural stability, mitigate electrochemical impedance increases, and diminish thermally induced degradation.
