Tandem solar cells using all metal-halide perovskite thin films show great promise for next-generation solar cells in terms of reduced cost, flexibility, and high efficiency, an effective way to break the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction cells. Low-bandgap mixed tin (Sn)-lead (Pb) and wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells, as the key to make highly efficient all-perovskite tandem solar cells, have been gaining extensive interest due to their appropriate bandgaps and promising application to build efficient all-perovskite tandem cells. Growth process of perovskites plays a crucial role in the formation of high-quality perovskites. We will present perovskite crystallization regulation strategies such as universal close space annealing (CSA) and buried interface-assisted growth, etc to increases grain size, enhances crystallinity, and prolongs carrier lifetimes in low-bandgap (~1.25 eV) and wide-bandgap (~1.75-1.80 eV) perovskite films, leading to high-quality perovskite absorber layers. We will also present new self-assembly monolayer (SAM) materials for efficient wide-bandgap perovskite subcells and their mechanisms for reducing interfacial charge non-radiative recombination losses. We will also discuss the design and optimization of interconnecting layers for all-perovskite tandems.
