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.

The researchers now days are avid of solar cells despite the efficiency issues. As lead-based halide perovskite exhibit toxic nature alternatives for the anti- toxic perovskite solar cells(PSCs) are gaining much research. Bis(sulfanylidene )tungsten is a toxic free feasible emerging option with direct band gap of value 1.8 eV. Tungsten disulfide is other chemical name of Bis(sulfanylidene)tungsten. In this paper, perovskite solar cell (PSC) with Bis(sulfanylidene)tungsten (WS2 ) as electron transport layer and spiro-OMeTAD as hole transport layer is modelled and simulated using SCAPS software to analyze performance parameters. The device simulations results are compared for comprehensive defect study of WS2 as ETL. With integration of WS2 and spiro-OMeTAD in the perovskite design, the outcomes are proficient enough with 25.96% of PCE, 22.06 mA/cm2 Jsc, 1.280V Voc and 91.76% FF. Launching the batch setup for absorber layer thickness further resulted with competent PCE 27.78%. The outcomes signified that the toxic-free WS2 based PSC can be a prominent upcoming perspective in terms of environmentally pristine nature and capitulate comparative high efficiency

Abstract Mathematical modelling can offer the physical intuitions about the charge transport process inside a solar cells and provide the various elements affecting their performance. In the present paper, (CH3NH3Pb(I1-xBrx)3 based various perovskite solar cells have been mathematically simulated deploying SCAPS simulator. Various Hole Transport layers (HTLs) based on thickness, total defect density and donor density of mixed halide perovskite have been compared using Cd1-xZnxS as an Electron Transport Layer (ETL). Amongst the proffered HTLs, P3HT [Poly(3-hexylthiophene)] executed better and exhibited the PCE of 28.28%. During the simulation, mixed halide perovskite layer with thickness of 700 nm has been found suitable for the effective solar cell design. These mathematically simulated outcomes indicate the optimum efficiency of the solar cell that may further be prompted to design the extremely high efficient solar cells.

Perovskite inorganic-organic solar cells are fabricated as a sandwich structure of mesostructured TiO2 as electron transport layer (ETL), CH3NH3PbI3 as active material layer (AML), and Spiro-OMeTAD as hole transport layer (HTL). The crystallinity, structural morphology, and thickness of TiO2 layer play a crucial role to improve the overall device performance. The randomly distributed one dimensional (1D) TiO2 nanowires (TNWs) provide excellent light trapping with open voids for active filling of visible light absorber compared to bulk TiO2. Solid-state photovoltaic devices based on randomly distributed TNWs and CH3NH3PbI3 are fabricated with high open circuit voltage Voc of 0.91 V, with conversion efficiency (CE) of 7.4%. Mott-Schottky analysis leads to very high built-in potential (Vbi) ranging from 0.89 to 0.96 V which indicate that there is no depletion layer voltage modulation in the perovskite solar cells fabricated with TNWs of different lengths. Moreover, finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis revealed larger fraction of photo-generated charges due to light trapping and distribution due to field convergence via guided modes, and improved light trapping capability at the interface of TNWs/CH3NH3PbI3 compared to bulk TiO2.

Research in solar cells is needed to maximize Indonesia’s vast solar potential that can reach up to 207.898 MW with an average radiation of 4.8 kWh/m2/day. Organometallic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained immense attention due to their rapid increase in efficiency and compatibility with low-cost fabrication methods. Understanding the role of hole transport layer is very important to obtain highly efficient PSCs. In this work, we studied the effect of Hole Transport Layer (HTL) to the performance of perovskite solar cell. The devices with HTL exhibit substantial increase in power conversion efficiency, open circuit voltage and short circuit current compared to the device without HTL. The best performing device is PSC with CuSCN as HTL layer, namely Voc of 0.24, Isc of 1.79 mA, 0.27 FF and efficiency of 0.09%.
