“…In addition, it should also be noted that under illumination, photons pass through transparent electrodes and are transported by ETL into the absorber layer. This means that excessive thickness ETL can easily prevent photons from being successfully absorbed by the absorber layer, especially for short wave photons with high energy content [60].…”

To overcome the drawbacks of high lead toxicity and poor corrosion resistance of lead-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and to compensate for the poor air stability of Sn2+ compound-based perovskite, Cs2SnI6 (Sn4+ compound) is selected as the absorber for the PSC in this study. Using FTO/ETL/Cs2SnI6/HTL/Au as the model, the high-performance non-toxic inorganic PSC structure is explored through theoretical simulation and calculation by SCAPS-1D. The conduction band offsets (CBO) and valence band offsets (VBO) of commonly used electron transport layer materials (ETMs), hole transport layer materials (HTMs), and Cs2SnI6 are calculated based on electron affinity potential (χ) and bandgap (Eg). Then, by analyzing the pn junction composed of ETL and HTL and the bandgap structure at the n-i, i-p interfaces, the most matching n-i-p planar heterojunction model, FTO/IGZO/Cs2SnI6/Cu2BaSnS4/Au, was selected. Finally, by analyzing and adjusting the material thickness, defect density of each layer, operation temperature, the optimal performance of PSC was determined to be 30.39% power conversion efficiency (PCE), 1.27 V open circuit voltage (Voc), 28.46 mA/cm2 short circuit current (Jsc), and 84.02% fill factor (FF). A new and more efficient PSC is proposed in this study, providing some terrific clues for finding high-quality alternatives to lead-based PSCs. The judgment method proposed in this study regarding the theoretical performance of PSCs can also provide some ideas for related experimental research.

One of the most widely used energy sources nowadays is nonrenewable, but the excessive consumption of these resources leads to environmental issues. Therefore, renewable energy sources have received much attention, including photovoltaic energy. A novel technology known as “third‐generation solar cells” is being studied, and in this class, the polymeric solar cells (PSCs) and the perovskite solar cells (PVSKs) can be highlighted. Several researchers are trying to find new ways to improve the energy conversion efficiency (PCE) and long‐term stability of these devices. In particular, PVSK has already demonstrated high PCE, but there is still a long way to go to develop more stable and better processable devices for large‐scale production. In the case of PSC, processability is a positive factor since its flexible films have great mechanical stability and can be processed in roll‐by‐roll systems. However, efficiency is still a challenge for researchers. Nevertheless, both types of devices are good alternatives for silicon cell substitution. However, further studies are needed to address the inherent problems of each device technology and move to large‐scale production.
