As an important perovskite solar cell (PSC) material, CsSnBr3 has been widely studied. Based on the density functional theory (DFT), the photoelectric properties of CsSnBr3 are studied by using the first-principles at different hydrostatic pressures. It is found that CsSnBr3 has an optimal optical band gap value of 1.34 eV under a pressure of 2.6 GPa, so only the photoelectric properties of CsSnBr3 under the hydrostatic pressure of 0 GPa and 2.6 GPa are studied, respectively. When the pressure is 2.6 GPa, CsSnBr3 has larger values of dielectric, conductivity, absorption coefficient and refractive index, the red-shifted absorption spectrum, and relatively small effective mass of electron and hole and exciton binding energy, indicating that CsSnBr3 is an efficient light absorbing material. According to the triple calculations of Born-Huang stability standard criterion, the tolerance factor T and phonon spectrum with or without virtual frequency, it is found that CsSnBr3 is stable under the pressure of 0 GPa and 2.6 GPa. According to the elastic modulus value of CsSnBr3 before and after pressure, it can be seen that the CsSnBr3 is soft, with good ductility and anisotropy. The Debye temperature and heat capacity of CsSnBr3, soon after it has been pressured, tend to be stable and are independent of temperature. The enthalpy and entropy increase with temperature increasing, and the increased amplitude is larger than those of the unpressured CsSnBr3. Gibbs free energy shows a decreasing trend, and the decrease is slightly faster when unpressured. This study shows that CsSnBr3 is a good photoelectric material after having been pressured hydrostatically, which is suitable for perovskite solar cells.
