  Optimization of Graphene concentration in optoelectronic properties has been studied which leads to progressive stability based on Graphene-CH
  <sub>3</sub>NH
  <sub>3</sub>PbI
  <sub>3</sub> employing nanoparticles perovskites solar cells in this work. CH
  <sub>3</sub>NH
  <sub>3</sub>PbI
  <sub>3</sub> wafer-based hetero-junction solar cells were developed under atmospheric conditions using Graphite as a hole transport layer (HTL) and TiO
  <sub>2</sub> as an electron transport layer (ETL). In particular a considerable enhancement in power conversion efficiency (PCE &lt; 0.01%) has been realized using optimum Graphene concentration (0.05 g/ml). The charge injection rate is radically faster for the particular Graphene composition than the pristine perovskites, which exposes ephemeral absorption in near to UV range. Graphene incorporation increased the average crystallite size and reduced the band gap 1.32 eV in the visible range. The expensive metals such as Ag and Au have been replaced by simple ITO, which tremendously reduces the fabrication cost of the PSCs. The fabricated devices were exposed to high conservation stability without cell encapsulation ambient condition for 150 days to show excellent stability.

Introduction</title><p>One of the most promising materials, lead halide perovskites have been demonstrated for next-generation photovoltaic and light-harvesting application [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref2">2</xref>]. Organic-Inorganic lead halide perovskites have been attracted great interest from many researchers due to tremendous improvement of power conversion efficiency (PCE), 3.9% to more than 22% within short research of time 2009 to 2020 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref5">5</xref>]. Currently, mixed organic-inorganic halide perovskites have materialized as a novel class of light-absorbing material for highly efficient solar cells with established efficiency of 20.1%. Some of the optoelectronic properties have been studied like strong absorption coefficients, optical band gap, hybrid perovskite-based absorbers, flexible and low cost in earlier reports [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref8">8</xref>]. Despite the high record PCEs due to applying specialized conditions, the present world requires progressive stability of photovoltaic cells and reduces fabrication cost [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref9">9</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref10">10</xref>]. The single cation perovskites such as formamidinium lead halide (FAPbX<sub>3</sub>), methylammonium lead halide (MAPbX<sub>3</sub>, MA = CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>, X = Br or Cl or I) reveal relatively low stability under ambient condition while Mixed perovskites are robust against experience to moisture and heat [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref11">11</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref12">12</xref>]. Graetzel et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref13">13</xref>] have demonstrated PSCs efficiency more than 20% with MA/FA mix cations where Seok et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref14">14</xref>] have investigated (MAPbBr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>x</sub> and (FAPbI<sub>3</sub>)<sub>x</sub> compounds in PSCs in the compositional engineering. Recently, Tan and his coworkers realized highly efficient perovskites device using triple cation based on colloidal nano-crystal chlorine capped TiO<sub>2</sub> (Cl-TiO<sub>2</sub>) layer in planar architecture [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref15">15</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref16">16</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref17">17</xref>]. In the ambient atmosphere, Triple (Cs/FA/MA) cation based perovskite materials reveal exceeding power conversion efficiency 20% in a long time stable performance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref19">19</xref>]. The planar inverted structure is the adoption of the bulk heterojunction organic solar cell structure in PSCs while the main concern in the normal planar structure PSCs is hysteresis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref20">20</xref>]. Using a nitrogen-filled glove box in the laboratory highly durable performance of triple cation perovskite has been demonstrated by atmosphere-controlled crystallization processes whereas in the large scale industrialization [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref21">21</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref22">22</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref23">23</xref>]. Lead halide perovskites are a high sensitivity to atmospheric conditions, especially humidity. To increase the electron withdrawal from the perovskite to the compact TiO<sub>2</sub> for the normal (mesostructured and planar) perovskite solar cell structure graphene oxide concentration and other solution procedure able graphene derivatives have been reduced. Improving the operational stability of PSCs and the positive function of graphene-based materials in an approach to raising the grain size of the perovskite absorber have been investigated by utilizing it as the hole transport layer (HTL) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref24">24</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref25">25</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref26">26</xref>]. As well as its low-cost solution-phase production techniques, its optical, incomparable electrical and physical properties have been developed. An efficient approach to improve the photodetection performance using the hybridization of graphene with a gain material or the formation of a hetero-structure has been showing [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref27">27</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref28">28</xref>]. Highly enhanced photoconductive gain has been demonstrated by the mixtures of graphene with quantum dots or TiO<sub>2</sub>. Many optoelectronic and photonic applications can be confirmed such as a light-emitting diode, random lasing and photodetection using these unique photoelectrical properties [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref29">29</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref30">30</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref31">31</xref>]. Peng You et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref32">32</xref>] reported by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method as top transparent electrodes multilayer graphene prepared where the conductivity of graphene was improved by coating a thin layer of poly-(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). Do-Hyun Kwak et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref33">33</xref>] demonstrated hybrid graphene-CsPbBr<sub>x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>NCs which highly photosensitivity and reported directivity of 2.4 &#215; 10<sup>16</sup> jones at incident power of 0.07 μWcm<sup>−</sup><sup>2</sup> under 405 nm which have potential photodiode applications. Besides having high-quality railing properties to gases and water so that the thickness of the coating does not decelerate charge transfer and suspend solar cells’ performance to select elements that have far beyond the ground electron and hole conductivity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref34">34</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.104481-ref35">35</xref>]. We demonstrate the fabrication and characterization of general formula MAPbI<sub>3</sub> and G-MAPbI<sub>3</sub> perovskites with the enterprise of investigating the thin film deposition for studying the photovoltaic properties to discover their potential as a light harvester in commercial applications of perovskites solar cells. Graphene is a required material to recover the lead oxidization and improve the optical absorption in the UV-visible range in a particular concentration (G: 0.05 g/mole) of it. Thus, we optimize Graphene composition with pristine perovskites to develop optoelectronic properties and investigate the stability of photovoltaic cell performance for further improvement of commercial application.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

The UV-Visibility range of perovskites shows the connection between absorbance and wavelength, indicating very low photosensitivity. Compared to pristine cell graphene incorporation, the excellent stability of up to 150 days of photovoltaic output, as well as the fill factor, increases. Another best work is to reduce the band gap of perovskite 1.32 eV and optimize the graphene concentration for light absorption as well as co-efficient. As a multifunctional coating facilitated charge-carrier transport graphene/perovskite composite has been established while at the same time affording an impermeable seal to moisture, demonstrating confirmation of perception combination coating for improving cell stability.</p></sec><sec id="s4"><title>Authors Contributions</title><p>SSA, OR and KH urbanized the proposal of using graphite as an HTM.
