Transport layers in perovskite solar cells face significant performance limitations due to interface defects, charge recombination losses, and environmental degradation. Current cells show power conversion efficiencies reaching 25%, but interface-related losses can reduce this by 3-5 percentage points, while moisture sensitivity and ion migration continue to limit operational stability.

The fundamental challenge lies in developing transport layers that simultaneously optimize charge extraction efficiency while protecting the sensitive perovskite absorber from environmental factors.
