This work uses representative numerical calculations to provide a thorough performance evaluation of inexpensive perovskite solar cells (PSCs) made at various temperatures. The impact of processing temperature on device attributes was examined through the fabrication and analysis of several samples. UV–Vis spectroscopy was used to describe optical qualities, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize morphological features, and current–voltage (I–V) measurements were used to characterize electrical performance. The findings show that the optical bandgap, grain shape, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) vary with temperature. Grain diameters averaged about 210 nm, and the measured bandgap ranged around 1.55 eV. Under normal AM1.5G illumination at ideal temperature circumstances, the PCE reached up to 18.3%.. Low-cost fabrication techniques can produce high-performance devices while reducing material and processing costs, according on comparative benchmarking with previous PSC research. [1].
