Comprehensive guidance for optimizing the colloidal quantum dot (CQD) Perovskite solar cells: experiment and simulation

CsPbI 3 perovskite quantum dots (CPQDs) have received great attention due to their potential in large-scale applications. Increasing the efficiency of CPQDs solar cells is an important issue that is addressed in this paper. Here, we have simulated a 14.61% colloidal CPQD solar cell with the least fitting parameter that shows the accuracy of the following results. The absorber layer properties are varied and different power conversion efficiency (PCE) is achieved for the new device. The results show that colloidal CsPbI 3 material properties have a significant effect on the PCE of the device. Finally, the optimized parameters for the absorber layer are listed and the optimum efficiency of 29.88% was achieved for this case. Our results are interesting that help the researchers to work on CsPbI 3 materials for the achievement of highly efficient, stable, large-scale, and flexible CPQDs solar cells.
