“…As well as the optimum values of interfaces defect densities are: 10 15 cm -2 for HTL/BaZrS 3 and 10 11 cm -2 for BaZrS 3 /ETL. In addition, our simulation results prove that increasing temperature from 300 K to 440 K enhance the PCE from 15.81% to 17.29% which it is not the case for Sn based PSC where the PCE decrease linearly with increase in temperature from 300 K to 400 K [25]. The nal results, when including all parameters optimization are xed at: PCE of 17.29%, FF of 86.26%, Voc of 1.2124 V and Jsc of 16.5363 mA/cm 2 , with an excellent quantum e ciency.…”

“…However, the FF was varied in a random way until the temperature 410 K, then it started also to decrease continuously with temperature. The uctuation of the FF (de ned as the ability to deliver available power to a load generated by the solar cell) before 410 K is due to variation of conductivity [25] .The optimum temperature value deduced from this study that gives a maximum PCE of 17.29% and FF of 86.26% is 440 K which prove the stability of BaZrS 3 compound [26] .…”

“…We noticed that the PCE increases with temperature up to 450 K, if the temperature increases, the value of J SC will increase due to the band gap reduction of the material and consequently, more number of electron-hole pairs will be generated [18]. The temperature started to decrease after 450 K, it is evident that as temperature increases, the power generation from the PV cell decreases and as a result, the PCE decreases [25]. However, the FF was varied in a random way until the temperature 410 K, then it started also to decrease continuously with temperature.…”

Chalcogenide perovskites are prototypical absorber materials based solar cells, they could solve both: the stability and toxicity issues existing in conventional perovskites. A device simulation of BaZrS3 as a potential absorbing material (high chemical stability, direct band gap and a strong light absorption coefficient) based chalcogenide perovskite solar cells is performed by using the one dimensional Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS)-1D software. Parameters like (thickness, doping concentration, defect density of the absorber and interfaces, temperature) are varied in order to inspect their impact on device performance. For this study, a performed architecture has been proposed: FTO (Fluorine doped Tin Oxide)/TiO2 (ETL; Electron Transport Layer)/BaZrS3 (Absorber)/Spiro-OMeTAD (HTL; Hole Transport Layer)/Au (metal back contact). To enhance the solar cell efficiency, an optimization of these key parameters is investigated. Our simulation results in optimized thickness and doping density (NA, ND) of (80 nm; 1×1019 cm-3), (10 nm; 8×1019 cm-3), (850 nm; 1×1020 cm-3) and (60 nm; 9×1019 cm-3) for FTO, TiO2, BaZrS3 and Spiro-OMeTAD materials respectively, with a global illumination spectrum AM1.5 and 440 K as an optimum operation temperature, are found to be: PCE (maximum Power Conversion Efficiency) of 17.29%, FF (fill factor) of 86.26%, Voc (Open Circuit Voltage) of 1.2124 V and Jsc (Short Circuit current density) of 16.5363 mA/cm2.

In this paper, a n-i-p planar heterojunction simulation of Sn-based iodide perovskite solar cell (PSC) is proposed. The solar cell structure consists of a Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate on which titanium oxide (TiO2) is placed; this material will act as an electron transporting layer (ETL); then, we have the tin perovskite CH3NH3SnI3 (MASnI3) which is the absorber layer and next a copper zinc and tin sulfide (CZTS) that will have the function of a hole transporting layer (HTL). This material is used due to its simple synthesis process and band tuning, in addition to presenting good electrical properties and stability; it is also a low-cost and non-toxic inorganic material. Finally, gold (Au) is placed as a back contact. The lead-free perovskite solar cell was simulated using a Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D). The simulations were performed under AM 1.5G light illumination and focused on getting the best efficiency of the solar cell proposed. The thickness of MASnI3 and CZTS, band gap of CZTS, operating temperature in the range between 250 K and 350 K, acceptor concentration and defect density of absorber layer were the parameters optimized in the solar cell device. The simulation results indicate that absorber thicknesses of 500 nm and 300 nm for CZTS are appropriate for the solar cell. Further, when optimum values of the acceptor density (NA) and defect density (Nt), 1016 cm−3 and 1014 cm−3, respectively, were used, the best electrical values were obtained: Jsc of 31.66 mA/cm2, Voc of 0.96 V, FF of 67% and PCE of 20.28%. Due to the enhanced performance parameters, the structure of the device could be used in applications for a solar energy harvesting system.

Here we focused on the impactparameters of device such as the thickness of the Ab-Layer, doping level ofperovskite layer and different working temperature. Additionally, we investigated the effect of different metal contact and their work function. The simulated results show that a perovskite layer thickness of 350nm for good perovskite solar cell. For optimizing parameters, efficiency 18.10%, FF 78.14, Jsc 29.61, and Voc 0.7821 have been achieved for Cu2O and TiO2 respectively.
