Drivers of Efficiency Breakthroughs: Key Technological Advances in Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells.
Review in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Crystalline silicon solar cells have long dominated the global photovoltaic market due to their mature manufacturing processes, excellent stability, and abundant raw material reserves, accounting for over 90% of the total PV market share. However, single-junction c-Si solar cells are approaching the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) efficiency limit of ~29.4%, creating an urgent need for next-generation PV technologies to achieve higher power conversion efficiency (PCE). Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs) stand as the most commercially promising technology to surpass the single-junction efficiency limit. Since their first demonstration in 2015, PSTSCs have experienced rapid technological advancement, with the certified PCE reaching 35.0% in 2026. This review posits that their rapid efficiency ascent is not serendipitous but driven by synergistic innovations across critical subsystems. We systematically deconstruct these efficiency drivers, encompassing top-cell materials, bottom-cell architecture, and optical management. We conclude by outlining future research frontiers essential for transforming this lab-champion technology into a mainstream energy solution.
