Metal halide semiconductor materials have attracted much attention due to their excellent physical and chemical properties and broad application prospects in the field of perovskite optoelectronics. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are also regarded as the most promising candidate to replace silicon-based solar cells due to their high theoretical efficiency. Hanul Min has been focused on improving efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells by designing its composition, additive, and interface. Min also improved the efficiency and stability of PSCs by reducing lattice strain of FAPbI3. Furthermore, he controlled the interlayer between perovskite and SnO2 electron transport layer (ETL) to reduce interface defects and achieved world’s highest efficiency of PSCs. which is included in National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) chart. Min is an outstanding scholar in the field of perovskite solar cells. His research has revealed the intrinsic mechanism of perovskite solar cells. Higher-efficiency solar cells are also being continuously manufactured. In the near future, perovskite solar cells are expected to realize true large-scale application and create a new world with green energy.
