Utilization of Tin Halide as an absorber in Perovskite solar cells is immensely recognized as a substitute of lead halide absorber because of lead material’s toxicity. Also, Tin halide based Perovskites possess a potential for higher quantum efficiency because of their enhanced light absorption capability due to the wide-ranging absorption spectrum in the visible region with a comparatively lower bandgap of 1.3 eV than lead-based Perovskites. In the present work, glass/ transparent conductive oxide (TCO)/ titanium dioxide (buffer)/ tin halide Perovskite (Absorber)/ cuprous thiocyanate (HTM)/ Metal back solar cell structure has been designed and simulated by SCAPS software which yields Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) of 28.32% and Fill Factor (FF) of 85.17%. The effect of total defect density, thickness, Valance Band Effective Density of States (VBEDS) and Conduction Band Effective Density of States (CBEDS) for an absorber layer has been analyzed. It has been observed that VBEDS variation has achieved PCE and FF to a significant extent i.e. up to 32.47% PCE and 85.86% FF

“…[ 20 ] Owing to their suitable bandgap and stability, Cu‐based semiconductors like CuSCN and CuSbS 2 can also be used as HTLs in PSCs. [ 22,23 ] This study involves an analysis of the performance of PSCs with absorber layers MAPbI 3 and MAGeI 3 by substituting a number of ETLs, namely, TiO 2 , ZnO, IGZO, C60, [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), and SnO 2 , a collection of HTLs, namely, Cu 2 O, CuI, CuO, CuSbS 2 , CuSCN, SpiroMeOTAD, PEDOT:PSS, P3HT, and NiO.…”

A comparative theoretical study on the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) and methyl ammonium germanium iodide (MAGeI3) as absorber layers is reported by modeling the solar cells for a number of electron transport materials (ETMs), hole transport materials, and back‐contact metals using solar cell capacitance simulator 1D tool. For MAPbI3 as the absorber layer, the best photovoltaic performance is observed for the configuration glass/fluorine‐doped tin oxide (FTO)/SnO2/MAPbI3/NiO/Au with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.58% and a fill factor (FF) of 68.34% and for MAGeI3, the configuration glass/FTO/SnO2/MAGeI3/CuO/Pd exhibits the best performance with a PCE of 13.12% and a FF of 68.29%. This study indicates that the low‐cost metal oxide SnO2 is a better substitute for the commonly used TiO2 as ETM, and the metal oxides like NiO and CuO provide a higher PCE for device configurations with MAPbI3 and MAGeI3, respectively, as the absorber layer. The low‐cost back‐contact metal Pd provides a better performance for MAGeI3‐based PSCs. This study also indicates that the nontoxic MAGeI3‐based PSCs can be used for commercial applications as they are more thermally stable than the MAPbI3‐based PSCs and provide an equally good quantum efficiency curve as that of MAPbI3‐based PSCs.

This study numerically investigates a highly efficient tandem‐structured CsKPb(IBr)3−FACsPbSnI3,FAMASnGeI3, andMAPbSnI3, perovskite‐perovskite model solar cells using the solar cell simulator capacitance software (SCAPS−1D), consisting of wide‐bandgap top potassium incorporated inorganic cesium‐based perovskite cell (CsKPb(IBr)3−1.92eV) and narrow‐bandgap bottom tin incorporated perovskite cells (FACsPbSnI3−1.29eV,FAMASnGeI3−1.40eV,and MAPbSnI3−1.16eV). The study explores and optimizes the front and rear perovskite absorber layer parameters (especially thickness) and current matching conditions ideal for tandem device performance. The simulated top standalone inorganic solar cell parameters yield a power conversion efficiency of over 13% (for all models), while the bottom perovskite devices simulated with filtered spectrum yield an efficiency of 14.17% for FACsPbSnI3, 8.54% for FAMASnGeI3, and 13.30% for MAPbSnI3, respectively. The study and quantification of the current matching points for the tandem configuration provide some insight into the device's performance, which is beneficial for its efficiency enhancement. The resultant simulated optimized tandem cells offer a maximum efficiency of 21% for CsKPb(IBr)3−FACsPbSnI3 model, 17.5% for CsKPb(IBr)3−FAMASnGeI3 model, and 20% for CsKPb(IBr)3−MAPbSnI3 model, respectively, with improved parameters.
