Chalcogenide As Inorganic Transport Layer in Perovskite Solar Cell
Abstract Fill factor (FF) deficit and stability is a primary concern with the perovskite solar cell. Resistance values and band alignment at junction interface in perovskite are causing low fill factor. Moisture sensitivity of methylammonium lead halide perovskite is causing a stability issue. We tried to solve these issues by using inorganic hole transport layer (HTL). FF is sensitive to the band offset values. We study the band alignment/band offset effect at the Perovskite /HTL junction. Inorganic material replacing Spiro-MeOTAD can enhance the stability of the device by providing an insulation from ambient. Our simulation study shows that the earth abundant p-type chalcogenide materials of SnS as HTL in perovskite is comparable to Spiro-MeOTAD efficiency.
