Abstract

Inspired by nature, intelligent self‐healing materials have recently been exploited also in the field of photovoltaics to mimic natural systems achieving self‐repairing. The past decade has witnessed perovskite solar cells (PSCs) skyrocketing to a certified power conversion efficiency of 26.1%. However, their intrinsic instability, when exposing to moisture, high temperature, and continuous illumination, hampers their commercial development for a long‐term use in ambient operating conditions. Therefore, the use of smart self‐healing materials, based on self‐assembling properties and dynamic interactions, empowers PSCs with self‐recovery abilities to reinforce their pivotal role as efficient photovoltaic devices and encourage their exploitation in the market. Herein, the current progress in self‐healing perovskite materials with a special focus on self‐recovery after moisture exposure or mechanical damage with the aim to provide a valuable insight for research on this topic to accelerate the PSC commercialization process is highlighted.
