Since the ground-breaking report of the 9.7% efficient and 500 h-stable solid-state perovskite solar cell (PSC) in 2012 based on methylammonium lead iodide, perovskite photovoltaics have been surged swiftly due to high power conversion efficiency (PCE) obtainable via facile fabrication procedure. As a result, a PCE of 25.7% was recorded in 2022. According to Web of Science, number of publications on PSCs increases exponentially since 2012, leading to the accumulated publications of more than 30,000 as of NOV, 2022. PSC is regarded as a game changer in photovoltaics because of low-cost and high efficiency surpassing the conventional high efficiency thin film technologies. In this talk, history of PSC will be described prior to description of progress in perovskite photovoltaics. High photovoltaic performance was realized by compositional engineering, device architecture and fabrication methodologies for the past 10 years. Toward theoretical efficiency over 30% along with long-term stability, exquisite control of light absorptivity and photo-excited charges is highly required, along with thermodynamic phase stability. In this talk, light-morphology relation is discussed, where a specific crystal facet is found to have strong interaction with photon, leading to high photocurrent. Interface engineering is critical in achieving high efficiency and long-term stabilty. As a result, we could achieve a PCE approaching 26%  under one sun illumination.
