Perovskite solar cells have garnered significant attention as the next-generation photovoltaic devices. After more than a decade of dedicated research, commercializing these cells is now on the horizon. One of the primary focuses for developers aiming at large-scale industrial production is cost reduction. To achieve cost savings in perovskite solar cell manufacturing, researchers have successfully devised cost-effective room-temperature perovskite solar cells for fabricating perovskite films at room-temperature. Additionally, they have developed full room-temperature perovskite solar cells, where the entire solar cell is fabricated at room temperature. These cells excel in terms of their straightforward processing, low energy consumption, and continuous production capability, rendering them highly suitable for industrial applications. This article is intended to provide an overview of the latest advancements in room-temperature perovskite solar cell research. It will summarize commonly utilized methods for their fabrication, delve into the significant implications of full room-temperature perovskite solar cells for the commercialization of perovskite solar technology, and conclude by outlining various production techniques for room-temperature perovskite films. Furthermore, this article will offer insights into the future development directions of room-temperature perovskite solar cells and full room-temperature perovskite solar cells.
