Improved optical properties of perovskite solar cells by introducing Ag nanopartices and ITO AR layers

Abstract Embedded noble metal nanostructures and surface anti-reflection (AR) layers affect the optical properties of methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite solar cells significantly. Herein, by employing a combined finite element method and genetic algorithm approach, we report five dif...
