In this paper, coupled optical and electrical simulations of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are performed to optimize their basis output parameters and obtain the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) based on both the light absorption and carrier transport mechanisms. Due to the limitations of perovskite absorption in longer wavelengths, we used an extra photo-active material of GeSe with a narrower bandgap and a broader absorbing spectrum to increase the efficiency of the PSC. To prevent carrier transmission disorder that exists in the planar structure with two absorbing materials, GeSe was inserted into the main active layer in the form of nanowires (NWs).
