<p>The effect of Methylammonium Iodide (CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub>) perovskites (MIP) concentration on the performance of perovskites sensitized solar cell (PSC) was studied. Three MIP concentrations, namely 0.2, 0.4, and 1.0 M were prepared. In this study PSC with a sandwich structure of ITO/TiO<sub>2</sub>/ MIP /electrolyte/ Pt film was fabricated for this purpose. It was found that power conversion efficiency (PCE) increased with the increasing the concentration of MIP, from 0.01 to 0.21 % as the concentration increase from 0.2 to 1.0 M. Photoluminescence (PL) study showed that the increase of the MIP concentration decrease therecombination of carrier in the device. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis also shows that with the increased of MIP concentration results in the decreased of the R<sub>ct </sub>due to the improvement of the carrier transport in the devices. </p>

Abstract Details of an open-source planar perovskite solar cell simulator, which includes ion vacancy migration within the perovskite layer coupled to charge carrier transport throughout the perovskite and adjoining transport layers in one dimension, are presented. The model equations are discretised in space using a finite element scheme, and temporal integration of the resulting system of differential algebraic equations is carried out in MATLAB. The user is free to modify device parameters, as well as the incident illumination and applied voltage. Time-varying voltage and/or illumination protocols can be specified, e.g. to simulate current–voltage sweeps, or to track the open-circuit conditions as the illumination is varied. Typical simulations, e.g. current–voltage sweeps, only require computation times of seconds to minutes on a modern personal computer. An example set of hysteretic current–voltage curves is presented.

Final Optimization

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) research is substantially drawing attention because of the fast improvement in their power conversion efficiency (PCE), cheapness, possibility to tune the bandgap, low recombination rate, high open circuit voltage, excellent ambipolar charge carrier transport and strong and broad optical absorption. In this research, Zinc oxide as electron transport material (ETM) and copper iodide as hole transport material (HTM) have been optimized using SCAPS-1D simulation software. The thickness, bandgap, of ZnO (ETM) and CuI (HTM) was investigated. Results shows that the thickness and bandgap were found to strongly influence the PCE of perovskite solar cell. ZnO/CuI   was found to be a better replacement to TiO2/Cu2O for stability and low degradation rate. It was observed that the maximum efficiency is 22.04%, Voc of 0.84V, JSC of 32.83mA/cm2 and FF of 79.79% was obtained when the thickness of ETM and HTM layer of (CH3NH3PbI3) PSCs which was found to be optimum at 0.2μm for the final optimization.
