“…They focused on carrier dissociation, photo-current creation, and photogeneration processes which provided hopeful results of 70.10% FF and PCE of 11.73%. There was a perfect match between the simulated J-V curve and the experimentally obtained results that can be great proof of the simulation accuracy [20] as shown in Table . Analysis of the cell with PCBM interface layer thickness which was sandwiched between the absorber perovskite layer and ETL was also performed. Research with a lot of details has been executed such as the CeOx mobility because of the hopping mechanism of small polaron at the different X compositions and the influence of doping concentration's variance of CeOx and PCBM.…”

With the fast progress of solar cells efficiency in the last few years, hybrid organic/inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) became a center point of research for a lot of solar cell researchers. The perovskite materials show different merits like longer carrier diffusion lengths, wider-tunable bandgap in addition to higher potential of light absorption. The higher efficiency together with the cheaper fabrication methods makes perovskite solar cells comparable with Si-based solar cells. The PSCs efficiency has a remarkable increase from 3.8% to more than 25.2 %. There is a great need for an overall understanding of the function of each of the solar cell components and its impact on cell efficiency and performance. This review starts with the discussion of perovskite structure (electronic and crystal) based on recent research. The working principles and the fabrication methods of PSCs are also introduced. PSCs evaluation is also analyzed and presented with more details regarding modelling approaches and simulation tools.

“…Any numerical software capable of solving the basic semiconductor equations could simulate solar cell devices [ 3 ]. Various simulation programs have been used to evaluate PSCs' performances, such as Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD), SILVACO ATLAS, wxAMPS, and AFORS-HET [ 4 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Of these simulation packages, SCAPS offers advantages such as the analyses of heterojunction and multi-junction photovoltaic devices.…”

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are the novel fourth-generation solar cells, with impressive progress in the last few years. MAPbI 3 is a cost-effective material used as an absorber layer in PSCs. Due to the different diffusion length of carriers, the electron transporting material (ETM) plays a vital role in PSCs' performance. ZnO ETM is a promising candidate for low-cost and high-efficiency photovoltaic technology. In this work, the normal n-i-p planar heterojunction structure has been simulated using SCAPS-1D. The influence of various parameters such as the defect density, the thickness of the MAPbI 3 layer, the temperature on fill factor, the open-circuit voltage, the short circuit current density, and the power conversion efficiency are investigated and discussed in detail. We found that a 21.42% efficiency can be obtained under a thickness of around 0.5 μm, and a total defect of 10 13 cm −3 at ambient temperature. These simulation results will help fabricate low-cost, high-efficiency, and low-temperature PSCs.

“…The ABX 3 formula contains A large organic or inorganic cation [27], including methylammonium (CH 3 NH 3 + , MA + ) and formamidinium (CH(NH 2 ) 2 + , FA + ) situated at the face-center cubic lattices of vertices [26]. The bonds are formed between groups A and B using inorganic cations such as copper (Cu 2+ ), tin (Sn 2+ ), and lead (Pb 2+ ), whereas X 3 referred to chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br ) and iodine (I) [29,30]. This led to increased interest in lead halide PSCs (LHPSCs), where the chemical composition of compound CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) is more cost-effective than traditional silicon SCs [31].…”
