The Impact

Abstract Simulation studies have been carried out for n-i-p perovskite solar cell (PSC) structure i.e. ITO/SnO2/CH3NH3PbI3/CuInS2/Au. We have considered this cell as our primary structure and is simulated using Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) software. Here, the CuInS2 quantum dot acts as an inorganic hole transporting layer. Further, the use of the CuInS2 quantum dot in PSCs has been explored by simulating twenty different cell structures. These perovskite solar cells are based on recently used absorber layers, i.e., MASnI3, FAPbI3, and (FAPbI3)0.97(MAPbBr1.5Cl1.5)0.03, and electron transporting layers, i.e., SnO2, TiO2, ZnO, C60, and IGZO. The performance of all structures has been optimized by varying the thickness of the absorber layers and ETLs. The cell structure, ITO/SnO2/CH3NH3SnI3/CuInS2/Au, has been found to exhibit highest power conversion efficiency of 21.79% as compared to other cells. Investigations have also been carried out to analyze the effect of defect density in the absorber layer and the interface of the cell structure. In addition, the cell performance has been ascertained by examining the impact of operating temperature, metal contact work function and that of resistance in series as well as in parallel. The simulation results of our primary cell structure are found to be in good agreement with the recent experimental study.

In this paper, we demonstrate the high potentialities of pristine single-cation and mixed cation/anion perovskite solar cells (PSC) fabricated by sequential method deposition in p-i-n planar architecture (ITO/NiOX/Perovskite/PCBM/BCP/Ag) in ambient conditions. We applied the crystal engineering approach for perovskite deposition to control the quality and crystallinity of the light-harvesting film. The formation of a full converted and uniform perovskite absorber layer from poriferous pre-film on a planar hole transporting layer (HTL) is one of the crucial factors for the fabrication of high-performance PSCs. We show that the in-air sequential deposited MAPbI3-based PSCs on planar nickel oxide (NiOX) permitted to obtain a Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) exceeding 14% while the (FA,MA,Cs)Pb(I,Br)3-based PSC achieved 15.6%. In this paper we also compared the influence of transporting layers on the cell performance by testing material depositions quantity and thickness (for hole transporting layer), and conditions of deposition processes (for electron transporting layer). Moreover, we optimized second step of perovskite deposition by varying the dipping time of substrates into the MA(I,Br) solution. We have shown that the layer by layer deposition of the NiOx is the key point to improve the efficiency for inverted perovskite solar cell out of glove-box using sequential deposition method, increasing the relative efficiency of +26% with respect to reference cells.

Utilization of Tin Halide as an absorber in Perovskite solar cells is immensely recognized as a substitute of lead halide absorber because of lead material’s toxicity. Also, Tin halide based Perovskites possess a potential for higher quantum efficiency because of their enhanced light absorption capability due to the wide-ranging absorption spectrum in the visible region with a comparatively lower bandgap of 1.3 eV than lead-based Perovskites. In the present work, glass/ transparent conductive oxide (TCO)/ titanium dioxide (buffer)/ tin halide Perovskite (Absorber)/ cuprous thiocyanate (HTM)/ Metal back solar cell structure has been designed and simulated by SCAPS software which yields Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) of 28.32% and Fill Factor (FF) of 85.17%. The effect of total defect density, thickness, Valance Band Effective Density of States (VBEDS) and Conduction Band Effective Density of States (CBEDS) for an absorber layer has been analyzed. It has been observed that VBEDS variation has achieved PCE and FF to a significant extent i.e. up to 32.47% PCE and 85.86% FF
