The past decade has witnessed the unprecedented boost of power conversion efficiency (PCE) of photovoltaics based on halide perovskite materials since its early discovery. Despite its remarkably good performance, long-term stability is yet one of the last barriers before commercializing halide perovskite photovoltaics is possible. In this perspective, we discuss the challenges and concurrently the strategies regarding the stability of the perovskite materials, photoactive crystal phases, and the performance as well as stability limiting interfaces. Future perspectives of stable halide perovskite and perovskite solar cells are also proposed to shine light on letting perovskite technology satisfy long-term operation warranty.
