Organic and perovskite semiconductor materials are considered an interesting combination thanks to their similar processing technologies and band gap tunability. Here, we present the design and analysis of perovskite/organic tandem solar cells (TSCs) by using a full optoelectronic simulator (SETFOS). A wide band gap lead-free ASnI2Br perovskite top subcell is utilized in conjunction with a narrow band gap DPPEZnP-TBO:PC61BM heterojunction organic bottom subcell to form the tandem configuration. The top and bottom cells were designed according to previous experimental work keeping the same materials and physical parameters. The calibration of the two cells regarding simulation and experimental data shows very good agreement, implying the validation of the simulation process. Accordingly, the two cells are combined to develop a 2T tandem cell. Further, upon optimizing the thickness of the front and rear subcells, a current matching condition is satisfied for which the proposed perovskite/organic TSC achieves an efficiency of 13.32%, Jsc of 13.74 mA/cm2, and Voc of 1.486 V. On the other hand, when optimizing the tandem by utilizing full optoelectronic simulation, the tandem shows a higher efficiency of about 14%, although it achieves a decreased Jsc of 12.27 mA/cm2. The study shows that the efficiency can be further improved when concurrently optimizing the various tandem layers by global optimization routines. Furthermore, the impact of defects is demonstrated to highlight other possible routes to improve efficiency. The current simulation study can provide a physical understanding and potential directions for further efficiency improvement for lead-free perovskite/organic TSC.

“…Also, the PCBM/C60 bilayer has shown enhanced conductivity and trap passivation capabilities that have received a lot of attention [47,48]. C 60 can be made in a solvent that does not react with perovskite material and has high and customizable lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies that align well with the energy band of perovskite [49]. It is a good ETL because it improves charge extraction and can be produced at low temperatures.…”

Tin Sulfide (SnS) is a promising absorber material for solar energy harvesting owing to the high absorption coefficient. Here, a novel inverted planar heterostructure of SnS based solar cell (ITO/NiOX/SnS/ZnO/Al) has been proposed for better efficiency among the different electron transport layers (ETLs), PCBM, C60, CeOX, and ZnO. The performance of the SnS based solar cell was theoretically studied by the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS) software. Initially, we have been observed the device performance with different ETL materials to find the better ETL material. The layer parameters of the HTL, absorber layer, and ETLs have been optimized to find out the best performance of the device. The device showed efficiencies of around 26.44%, 26.33%, and 26.38% with the ETLs PCBM, C60, and CeOX respectively. The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ~28.15% has been observed after incorporating ZnO ETL in the designed architecture of the SnS-based solar cell. Then, we have been investigated the performance of the SnS-based solar cell with ZnO ETL for the various value of carrier concentration, thickness, and bulk defect of the SnS absorber layer, defect of the interfaces of NiOX/SnS and SnS/ZnO, back metal contact's work function, and its operating temperature. The variation of the different parameters has exhibited a substantial effect on the device performance. The VOC, JSC, FF, and PCE of the optimized SnS-based solar cell with ZnO ETL showed 0.8954 V, 37.316452 mA/cm2, 84.24%, and 28.15%, respectively. The visualization of the results indicates that ZnO might be a potential ETL for the highly efficient, low-cost inverted planar solar cells based on SnS.
