In this article, we first reviewed available products that may be used as flexible substrates, their characteristics and unique advantages as supporting material for flexible electronic devices. Secondly, flexible perovskite solar cell is examined in detail, with special focus on its potential large-scale fabrication processes. In particular, a comprehensive review is provided on low cost solution printing techniques that is viewed highly as a viable tool for potential commercialization of the perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, a summary is given on green processing for the solution printing production of flexible perovskite devices.展开更多
