Metal halide Pb-based and Pb-free perovskite crystal structures are an essential class of optoelectronic materials due to their significant optoelectronic properties, optical absorption and tuneable emission spectrum properties. However, the most efficient optoelectronic devices were based on the Pb as a monovalent cation, but its toxicity is a significant hurdle for commercial device applications. Thus, replacing the toxic Pb with Pb-free alternatives (such as tin (Sn)) for diverse photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications is essential. Moreover, replacing the volatile methylammonium (MA) with cesium (Cs) leads to the development of an efficient perovskite absorber layer with improved optical & thermal stability and stabilized photoconversion efficiency. This paper discusses the correlation between the experimental and theoretical work for the Pb-based and Pb-free perovskites synthesised using the hot-injection method at different temperatures. Here, simulation is also carried out using the help of SCAPS-1D software to study the effect of various parameters of CsSnI and CsPbI layers on solar cell performance. This experimental and theoretical comparative study of the Hot-injection method synthesised CsPbI and CsSnI perovskites is rarely investigated for optoelectronic applications.

In this study, we employed the one-dimensional solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) software to optimize the performance of Pb-based and Sn-based (Pb-free) all-inorganic perovskites (AIPs) and organic-inorganic perovskites (OIPs) in perovskite solar cell (PSC) structures. Due to the higher stability of AIPs, the performance of PSCs incorporating Cs-based perovskites was compared with that of FA-based perovskites, which are more stable than their MA-based counterparts. The impact of AIPs such as CsPbCl, CsPbBr, CsPbI, CsSnCl, CsSnBr, and CsSnI, as well as including FAPbCl, FAPbBr, FAPbI, FASnCl, FASnBr, and FASnI, was investigated.

The power conversion efficiency of Pb-based single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has surpassed 26%; however, the biocompatibility concerns associated with Pb pose threats to both the environment and living organisms. Consequently, the development of Pb-free PSCs is imperative. Among the various alternatives to Pb-based PSCs, Sn-based PSCs have exhibited outstanding optoelectronic properties, showing great potential for large-scale manufacturing and commercialization.
