In article number 1700264 , Sven Hüttner, Pablo Docampo, and co‐workers give an overview of hybrid metal halide perovskites for solar cell applications. The focus is on the series of challenges that have been overcome and those still remaining to be solved. In particular, the authors lay out their understanding of the perovskite crystallization process and how this knowledge can be harnessed to enable better performing devices; how to overcome reproducibility and hysteresis issues; and the long‐term prospects of the technology in terms of stability and sustainability.
