The inorganic and hybrid organic / inorganic perovskites based on lead halide and derived materials (alloys) having the formula ABX3 are emerging as a new and innovative family of absorber materials for the conversion of solar energy into electricity in photovoltaic systems. Thanks to their composition, perovskites and derivatives have exceptional optical, electrical and structural properties with high absorption of light in the visible solar spectrum and good mobility of charge carriers generated by photons facilitating the extraction of electric current. Due to these important properties, perovskite solar cells combine a high efficiency of conversion of light into electricity with great ease of preparation and synthesis at very low costs via simple deposition techniques. In this article we review the structural and optoelectronic properties of perovskites 3D exhibiting photovoltaic properties, we are also interested in the operating principle of perovskite-based solar cells, charge transport materials and associated architectures. Simple fabrication techniques and issues with stability and hysteresis are also discussed.
