The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has increased rapidly to 25.7% in 2022. There is growing curiosity about whether it will increase further up the PCE limit. Understanding fundamental energy loss mechanism and targeted treatment crux step forward, especially definite management photons PSCs. Here, we first briefly review main modes photon PSCs illustrate significance recycling. Next, historical research trials overcome these mechanisms are highlighted, including application anti-reflection coatings, plasmonic strategies, adoption upconversion downconversion materials. Finally, make a brief summary prospect strategies that can help improve future.
