Perovskite solar cells have become a hot topic in the solar energy device area due to high efficiency and low cost photovoltaic technology. However, their function is limited by expensive hole transport material (HTM) and high temperature process electron transport material (ETM) layer is common device structure. Numerical simulation is a crucial technique in deeply understanding the operational mechanisms of solar cells and structure optimization for different devices. In this paper, device modelling for different perovskite solar cell has been performed for different ETM layer, namely: TiO2, ZnO, SnO2, PCBM (phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester), CdZnS, C60, IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide), WS2 and CdS and effect of band gap upon the power conversion efficiency of device as well as effect of absorber thickness have been examined. The SCAPS 1D (Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator) has been a tool used for numerical simulation of these devices.

We describe a method to enhance power conversion efficiency (PCE) of MAPbI3 perovskite solar cell by inserting a FAPbX3 perovskite quantum dots (QD-FAPbX3) layer. The MAPbI3 and QD-FAPbX3 layers were prepared using a simple, rapid spin-coating method in a nitrogen-filled glove box. The solar cell structure consists of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MAPbI3/QD-FAPbX3/C60/Ag, where PEDOT:PSS, MAPbI3, QD-FAPbX3, and C60 were used as the hole transport layer, light-absorbing layer, absorption enhance layer, and electron transport layer, respectively. The MAPbI3/QD-FAPbX3 solar cells exhibit a PCE of 7.59%, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.9 V, a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 17.4 mA/cm2, and a fill factor (FF) of 48.6%, respectively.

Most previous studies of perovskite core/shell structures have been based on ZnO/TiO2 nanowires (NWs), which are not suitable for high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, core/shell ZnO/TiO2 NWs with AgCl-doped CdSe quantum dots were fabricated as an electron transport layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cells, based on ZnO/TiO2 arrays. We designed CdSe with AgCl dopants that were synthesized by a colloidal process. An improvement of the recombination barrier (Rct1), due to shell supplementation with AgCl-doped CdSe quantum dots, improved the open circuit voltage, the fill factor, and the adsorption capacity of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite with NWs. The enhanced cell steady state was attributable to TiO2 with AgCl-doped CdSe QD supplementation. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 15.12% was attained in an atmospheric environment. The mechanism of the recombination and electron transport in the perovskite solar cells becoming the basis of ZnO/TiO2 core/shell arrays was investigated to represent the merit of ZnO/TiO2 core/shell arrays as an electron transport layer in effective devices. These results showed an uncomplicated approach for restraining non-radiative recombination loss in hetero-structure core/shell arrays to significantly improve perovskite solar cell performance and increase the effectiveness of photovoltaics.
