Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have recently received a lot of attention as promising materials to improve the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This is because they can passivate the surfaces of perovskite-sensitive materials and act as a spectrum converter for sunlight. In this study, we mixed and added both promising nanomaterials to PSC layers at the ideal mixing ratios. When compared to the pristine PSCs, the fabricated PSCs showed improved power conversion efficiency (PCE), from 16.57% to 20.44%, a higher photocurrent, and a superior fill factor (FF), which increased from 70% to 75%. Furthermore, the incorporation of CQDs into the manufactured PSCs shielded the perovskite layer from water contact, producing a device that was more stable than the original.
