Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have been extensively studied as a promising research topic in solar energy harvesting, due to their simple process, developed optical and electrical properties, and relatively low-cost materials. However, the perovskite solar cells have some low optical absorption near red- visible region. This research work presents numerically the enhancement of optical characteristics of Cs0.17FA0.83Pb(Br0.17I0.83)3 (CsFA) perovskite solar cell through adding films of gold nanoparticles. The mean diameter of gold nanoparticles is selected to offer an optical spectrum overlap between plasmonic resonance spectrum with the low absorption spectrum of perovskite material.
