Inorganic double perovskites have garnered significant attention due to their desirable characteristics, such as low-toxicity, stability and long charge-carrier lifetimes. However, most double perovskites, especially Cs 2 AgBiBr 6, have wide bandgaps, which limits power conversion efficiencies.
In fact, the efficiency limit for many of the perovskites is similar, in the ~25–27% range, given perfect band-alignment to ETM and HTM. Current state-of-the-art cells reach >80% of the theoretical maximum efficiency, indicating that higher performance is mostly a matter of interface engineering and the construction of multi-junction cells.
From these considerations, we can identify three main components that determine the efficiency of the perovskite-based solar cell: the band gap of the absorber, the carrier characteristics relevant for entropic contribution, and the alignment between absorber and carrier transporting media.
The conversion reaction and alloying/dealloying can change the perovskite crystal structure and result in the decrease of capacity. The discharge capacity of battery in dark environment is 410 mA h g −1, but the capacity value increased to 975 mA h g −1 for discharging under illumination (Fig. 21 e).
The interpretable machine learning model shows that small values of band gap and defect density of the perovskite layer significantly improve the PCE of the PSC, while increasing the dielectric constants of the hole transport and absorber layers improve the light absorption and PCE of the perovskite.
Firstly, the energy level of perovskite can be changed because of the Li + insertion, and the energy level alignment can influence the charge transport and collection. Secondly, the solar-induced positively charged holed can repel the positively charged Li + during the solar-charging process.
Furthermore, the instability of perovskite materials can cause problems like hysteresis, or variations in the solar cell's output voltage, and lower PCE . In this section, we will review the several factors that affect the stability of PSCs. Moisture intrusion is a significant challenge that can lead to the degradation of PSCs.
Inorganic double perovskites have garnered significant attention due to their desirable characteristics, such as low-toxicity, stability and long charge-carrier lifetimes. However, most double perovskites, especially Cs 2 AgBiBr 6, have wide bandgaps, which limits power conversion efficiencies.
Here, we propose a machine learning framework to predict the Photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs with high speed and accuracy and use a Bayesian algorithm to inverse predict the optimal values of the underlying parameters (band gap, thickness of each layer, defect density, etc.) of PSC devices.

In addition, theoretical simulation and experiments show that the matching of electrode and perovskite layer is also very important. Au has a suitable work function to match CsPbIBr 2, but the high price limits the application of Au; the price of Ag is relatively low, but Ag can be diffused into PSC, resulting in device degradation this case, carbon with a good …
