Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as substantial challenges for future generations of photovoltaic apparatus, largely attributed to their power conversion efficiency (PCE) drastically elevated from below 10% to a staggering 25.7% over the past decade. Owing to characteristics distinct to them like substantial specific surface areas, copious binding locations, adjustable nanostructures, and mutual reinforcement, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are commonly utilized as either supplementary components or operational layers for augmenting both the efficiency and durability of PSCs. This paper primarily underlines the recent advancements in implementing MOFs across various operational strata of a PSC. The focal points of this study encompass an examination of the photovoltaic yields, the repercussions, and the advantages of fusing MOF materials into constituents like perovskite absorbers, electron transport, and hole transport layers, in addition to interface layers. The study also extends to an exploration of how MOFs effectively inhibit leakages of Pb2+ within halide perovskites and their associated apparatus. This paper concludes by discerning and shedding light on potential research prospects for the deployment of MOFs in PSCs.References
