The efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been rapidly increasing since the first reports on the solid state devices in 2012, and the current record efficiency of 23.3% exceeds that of more mature technologies, such as CIGS and CdTe. However, the device stability remains a significant concern, and further improvements both in stability achieved as well as standardization of reported measurement protocols and results are needed for future commercialization of this technology. Therefore, we will discuss the degradation mechanisms in perovskite thin films and devices, with the emphasis on the effect of perovskite layer composition and deposition method on the film and device stability. The perovskite film composition, and consequently its photovoltaic performance and stability are strongly dependent on the deposition conditions. Next, we will discuss the effects of encapsulation on the device stability, which will include performance upon water immersion as well as standardized accelerated aging and outdoor testing according to ISOS protocols. Encapsulation protocols will be discussed for both rigid and flexible substrates.
