Abstract: In the past few years, the development of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (perovskite solar cells) grew rapidly, the power-conversion efficiency(PCE) in small area devices had been increased from 3.8% to 22.1%. Herein, the advantages and disadvantages of the perovskite solar cells in terms of physicochemical properties, structures, and the preparation methods of perovskite films are reviewed thoroughly in this paper. At first, the developments of perovskite solar cells and the structural evolution of the mainstream devices were briefly introduced, emphatically described the fabrication methods of the light-absorbing layer perovskite films, which were prepared by one-step spin-coating processing, two-step sequential deposition(in situ dipping method and two-step spin-coating deposition), and dual-source vapor deposition. Then, the key factors of the perovskite film formation and the micro-topography control technology were introduced and discussed, especially focused on the effects of growth of large crystals adjusted by solvents, compositions of precursors, mixed lead salts, additives, and coarsening of crystal growth on the efficiency of the perovskite solar cells. Finally, existing problems and future work were summarized, which includes precisely controlling the chemical composition of perovskite film, overcoming reproducibility issues and increase product yield, understanding perovskite crystallization process and work mechanism of device, preparing large-area perovskite thin films and perovskite solar modules, improving the long-term stability of the device, and developing environmentally friendly lead-free or lead-less perovskite solar cells.

Key words: preparation, morphology control, solar energy, power-conversion efficiency, interface
