The power conversion efficiency of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells has soared over the past ten years and currently rivals those of crystalline silicon and other thin‐film solar cells. Most of the research effort so far has been focused on three‐dimensional (3 D) perovskite crystals, producing devices with very high efficiency but poor operational and environmental stability. Two‐dimensional (2 D) Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite has recently shown its potential as a highly stable light absorber, albeit with low efficiency. This work reviews the current progress in attaining both high efficiency and stability in solar cells by using 2 D perovskite. In particular, the focus is on multidimensional perovskite as a way to combine the best characteristics of 3 D and 2 D perovskites. Future challenges and potential methods to boost the performance of multidimensional perovskite solar cells further are briefly presented.
