Energy production using the photovoltaic phenomenon in solar cells can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and the production of toxic greenhouse gases. Compared to other types of solar cells, perovskite solar cells, although the energy conversion efficiency is low but they have advantages such as light weight, high flexibility, and high absorption, and the processes related to their preparation are lower in cost and complexity than silicon solar cells. Active material (Active layer) and cathode (HTM) are formed. In this article, we have used perovskite CH۳NH۳PbI۳ as active material and titanium oxide (TiO۲), fullerene phenol derivative C۶۱ butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and copper gallium selenide (CGSe۲) as electron transfer layer (ETM) and by changing the thickness and creating suitable defects in the layers with the help of SCAPS-۱D simulation software, we simulated an optimized perovskite cell. The obtained results show the superiority of titanium oxide over fullerene phenol derivative C۶۱ butyric acid methyl ester and copper gallium selenide.
