In the last years, the study of all-inorganic perovskite compounds like CsPbA3 (A = Cl, Br, I) has increased as these are very good candidates with high efficiency for photovoltaic applications.

For this reason, it is necessary to study some of their properties, such as energetic stability of the compound, photovoltaic efficiency, in-use lifetime, manufacturing cost, among others. This work focuses on the theoretical-computational studies of different physical properties for CsGexPb1-xA3 and CsSnxPb1-xA3 (A = Cl, Br, I; 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) compounds, such as formation energy, electronic structure, electronic band-gap and optical absorption spectra. For this purpose, we have performed a set of ab-initio calculations based on quantum mechanics in the framework of the Density Functional Theory, together with machine learning techniques. The results obtained allowed us to understand their physical processes to promote synthesis and characterization of new high-performance materials for solar cells, seeking to be a more “eco-friendly” alternative by using less Pb in them, or even compounds without Pb.
