“…73 Other experimental methods to lower R S include decreasing the contact resistance between the active layer and electrodes 74 or creating donor−acceptor interfaces that interact well. 75 From Figure 15a, SnO 2 ETL-based SC structures demonstrated the lowest values of both PCE and FF. The highest value of PCE is exhibited by WS 2 and PCBM ETL-based PSCs for the chosen range of R s .…”

Lead-free Cs2BiAgI6 has garnered a lot of research interest recently due to its suitability as a potential absorber layer in the solar cell (SC) architecture owing to its low cost, good stability, and high efficiency. The main highlight of this research work includes the photovoltaic (PV) performance enhancement of Cs2BiAgI6 double perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by optimizing the optoelectronic parameters of the absorber, electron transport layer (ETL), hole transport layer (HTL), and various interface layers. Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator One dimension (SCAPS-1D) numerical simulation was used to optimize the performance of Cs2BiAgI6 absorber-based SCs consisting of copper barium thiostannate (CBTS) as the HTL and TiO2, PCBM, ZnO, IGZO, SnO2, and WS2 as ETLs. The role of the non-lead cesium-based halide perovskite absorber layer in the improvement of the SC performance was systematically investigated through a variation in the thickness, doping density, and defect density of the absorber layer, ETL, and HTL. The performance of the investigated device architectures is largely dependent on the thickness of the absorber layer, acceptor density, defect density, and the combination of different ETLs and HTLs. We found that TiO2, PCBM, ZnO, IGZO, SnO2, and WS2 ETL-based optimized devices recorded a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.14, 23.71, 23.69, 22.97, 23.61, and 21.72%, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of series and shunt resistances, temperature, capacitance, and Mott–Schottky for the six optimized devices was estimated along with the computation of the corresponding generation and recombination rates, current density–voltage (J–V), and quantum efficiency (QE) characteristics. The PV parameters obtained from this comprehensive analysis are finally compared with the earlier published theoretical and experimental reports on Cs2BiAgI6 absorber-based SCs.

“…However, thickness reduction is not always a useful choice, especially for organic solar cells, in which a non-complementary photo-absorption is yielded when the thickness of the devices is kept below 200 nm [ 26 , 27 ]. Other experimental approaches to reduce R s can be achieved through a well interplayed donor-acceptor interfaces [ 28 , 29 ] or by minimizing the contact resistance between the electrodes and active layer [ 30 ].…”

In this research work, numerical simulations are performed to correlate the photovoltaic parameters with various internal and external factors influencing the performance of solar cells. Single-diode modeling approach is utilized for this purpose and theoretical investigations are compared with the reported experimental evidences for organic and inorganic solar cells at various electrical and thermal conditions. Electrical parameters include parasitic resistances (Rs and Rp) and ideality factor (n), while thermal parameters can be defined by the cells temperature (T). A comprehensive analysis concerning broad spectral variations in the short circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (η) is presented and discussed. It was generally concluded that there exists a good agreement between the simulated results and experimental findings. Nevertheless, the controversial consequence of temperature impact on the performance of organic solar cells necessitates the development of a complementary model which is capable of well simulating the temperature impact on these devices performance.
