The intrinsic ion migration in the metal halide perovskite absorber layer and its interfaces seriously limits the device stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Despite considerable efforts to mitigate the ion migration issue, it remains a formidable challenge in the commercialization of PSCs. In this paper, we provide a short review of the device failure mechanisms induced by intrinsic ion migration and discuss the detrimental effects of ion migration on different component layers of PSCs. We outline the corresponding strategies to mitigate ion migration in PSCs and provide an insight on materials engineering to attain long-term stabilized perovskite photovoltaics.
