We are moving towards a sustainable society powered by renewal energy where solar photovoltaics is one of the most important players. In the past few years, emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies have observed an exponential increase in power conversion efficiencies (PCE) with halide perovskite solar cells above 22 %, tandem photovoltaics reaching 26 % or dye sensitized solar cells for indoor lighting at the impressive 28.9 % PCE mark. Oxides in solar cells can be found as the main solar absorber responsible for photon-to-electron conversion, as interfacial layers for the transport of electron or holes, as part of the conductive metal electrodes (including transparent electrodes) and also as part of photon management. Among the many advantages is the ease of fabrication, low cost and enhanced stability that provide to the solar cell. Moreover, new-generation of oxides (e.g. doped or undoped, binary, ternary, ferroelectric, etc) are slowly breaking ground providing competitive power conversion efficiencies, enhanced transport properties or improved UV-light stability, among others. We report our most recent studies on the application of classic oxides (binary, doped, nanostructured) and complex oxide compounds (ternary, ferroelectric, etc.) as transport layers in Halide Perovskite Solar Cells. We will discuss their effect on solar cell efficiency and long-term stability of solar cell devices.
