Perovskite solar cells are a pioneering photovoltaic technology that has signif-icantly improved performance in current years. The fundamental n-i-p planar het-erojunction structure of solar cells is structured and simulated in the present work. The device configuration Glass/ITO/WS2/CH3NH3PbI3/P3HT/Au was investigated using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) program. To increase the performance of the photovoltaic solar cell thickness, bandgap, doping concentration and temperature have been varied. Further, using the optimal value of the different parameters, the performance of the photo-voltaic device such as power conversion efficiency (PCE) and Fill Factor (FF) are obtained as 27.02%, and 85.44%, respectively. Also, Open-circuit Voltage (VOC) of 1.46 V and Short-circuit current density (JSC) of 21.56 mA/cm2 were achieved. The influence of donor concentrations has been studied by varying its value from 1x10-12 cm-3 to 1x10-20 cm-3 for the proposed device. Thus, using different charge transport materials, the power convergence efficiency of the perovskite solar cell has been enhanced. Our simulation study reveals that the proposed configuration could be used to fabricate a device for the improvement of the efficient perovskite solar cell.
In the present work, lead-free perovskite solar cell has been structured using CH3NH3SnI3 as an absorber layer, P3HT acting as a HTL, and TiO2 as ETL material. Perovskite solar cell is the originating photovoltaic technology that shows great elevation in its performance during recent years. The fundamental n-i-p planar heterojunction structure of photovoltaic cells has been designed and simulated with solar cell capacitance simulation software (SCAPS-1D). In this study, different parameters like thickness, acceptor density, temperature, and defect density have been varied to increase the device performance. Optimum values of different parameters have been used to attain the good results of the photovoltaic device such as PCE, VOC, FF, and JSC of 27.54%, 1.0216 V, 86.56%, and 31.14 mA/cm2, respectively. The impact of acceptor density has been varied from 1x10−12 cm−3 to 1x10−20 cm−3 for the proposed device structure. Therefore, the PCE of this device structure increases by using different charge transport materials. This simulation study shows that the proposed cell structure can be used to construct the photovoltaic cell with higher efficiency.
