Organic–inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskite materials have attracted exponentially increased attention for photovoltaic applications in the past few years, while the toxic lead component remains a big concern. Herein, we present the recent progress in researching lead‐free perovskite light absorbers for solar cell application, and the challenges in this field are also discussed, which may shed light on further investigation of low‐toxic, lead‐free and efficient perovskite solar cells for sustainable solar energy utilization. © 2016 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
