Design and numerical investigations of eco-friendly, non-toxic (Au/CuSCN/CH3NH3SnI3/CdTe/ZnO/ITO) perovskite solar cell and module

Hybrid perovskite light‐harvesting materials offer a high absorption coefficient, solution‐based synthesis techniques, and tunable bandgap, making them ideal for high‐performance renewable energy devices. The primary focus of current investigations is the design and comparative numerical investigation of solar cells. Key aspects with a substantial influence on device output, such as quantum efficiency, surface depth, bandgap tuning, interfacial defect densities, thicknesses of structural layers, temperature, carrier generation, and recombination rates, are explored and optimized. The investigation of Cu‐based hole‐transport layers (HTLs) has revealed that Cu2O (power conversion efficiency [PCE] = 22.60%), CuCrO2 (PCE = 22.25%), and CuI (PCE = 21.54%) have shown remarkable photovoltaic parameters with high carrier generation and reduced recombination rates. CuCrO2 has shown significant electrical parameters, which are further incorporated into the module simulation software PVsyst. Calculations are performed with a combination of 72 cells in series for a solar module of standard weight 27 kg and dimensions 2.20 m × 1.10 m in Islamabad, Pakistan. The module has shown an impressive power output of 523.40 W and an annual performance ratio of 88.6%. Simulated results endorse a viable and technically feasible route to incorporate Cu‐based HTLs into the design of perovskite absorber‐based solar cells and modules to increase their efficiency and maximize power production.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are considered highly efficient and hold great potential for next‐generation photovoltaic devices due to their excellent properties. However, there are some challenges that hinder their mass production, such as toxicity in lead‐based PSCs, nonstability, and high manufacturing costs. This study aims to address these challenges by proposing a device modeling approach to optimize the design of highly efficient lead‐free cesium titanium bromide (Cs2TiBr6) perovskite solar cells. Cs2TiBr6‐based perovskite solar cells have low performance due to the lack of suitable electron and hole transport layers. Therefore, this study utilizes numerical simulations in SCAPS‐1D to investigate the effect of different parameters, including the doping density of optimized hole and electron transport layers, the thickness of the absorber layer, the NA/ND of the absorption layer, and the defect concentration. The study models six different device structures with different hole transport layerss. However, an optimized novel structure device Se/CuSbS2/Cs2TiBr6/IZGO/FTO/Glass has been proposed, with a theoretical power conversion efficiency of 29.19%. This device has a VOC of 1.33 V, JSC of 24.28 mA cm−2, and FF of 90.46%. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of Cs2TiBr6 as a promising material for perovskite solar cells, providing a nontoxic, green renewable energy solution for the future.
