Perovskite solar cells have become the most promising third-generation solar cells because of their superior physical-chemical properties and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, the current obstacles to commercialization of perovskite solar cells are their poor stability and harmful elements. How to find high-efficiency, high-stability and non-toxic perovskite materials from thousands of possible perovskite crystals is the key to solve this problem.

The photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has improved rapidly, but their stability is poor, which is an important factor that restricts their commercial production. This paper studies the physical and chemical stability of perovskite solar cells based on first principles. It is well known that methylamido lead iodide compounds and methylamino lead iodide compounds are easily degraded into NHCH[double bond, length as m-dash]NHI, CHNHI and PbI.

The electron-transport layer in planar perovskite solar cells plays an important role in improving photoelectric conversion efficiency. At present, the main electronic transmission materials in perovskite solar cells include TiO, ZnO, WO, ZrO, SnO, ZnO, etc. This work mainly studies the electron-transport characteristics of six different electron-transport layers in perovskite solar cells.
