Solar cells offer a simpler method of utilizing the abundant renewable energy source. The most potential substitute for silicon solar cells, perovskite solar cells (PSCs), have advanced quickly in recent years. The Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS)-1D was used in this paper to suggest low-cost charge selective materials, such as ETM and HTM, that may produce good photovoltaic performance. To investigate the properties of CH3NH3PbI3-based solar cells with various HTM layers, such as Cu2O and ETM layers, such as SnO2, TiO2, and ZnO, respectively. Additionally, the thicknesses of the perovskite absorber are adjusted to obtain the highest photovoltaic efficiency, and the impact of the defect at the perovskite absorber layer on solar cell performance is also investigated. From this paper it has been investigated that, the thickness of the absorber layer, and defect density in a perovskite solar cell had a substantial impact on JSC, FF, VOC, and efficiency. The findings show a significant gain in efficiency (18%) when the ETM layer is ZnO. When the defect density of the perovskite layer rises, the JSC, VOC, FF, and PCE values of perovskite solar cells dramatically drop. According to our findings, the ZnO ETM is the most likely to provide a high photovoltaic (PV) efficiency when combined with Cu2O based HTM.

Green energy transition and climate change have gathered significant momentum in the world because of the rising population and increased clean energy demands. For this reason, renewable energy alternatives such as inexhaustible photo energy from the sun appear to be the ultimate solution to the world's energy needs. Formamidinium tin tri‐iodide (HC(NH2)2SnI3)‐based perovskites are found to be more efficient and stable than their methylammonium tin tri‐iodide (MASnI3) counterparts because of its wider bandgap and better temperature stability. A device simulation of FASnI3‐based solar cell is numerically performed using solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS‐1D). The focus is to investigate the effect of changing working temperature, metal back contact, absorber thickness, defect density, and doping concentration on the performance of the proposed solar cell device. The optimised solar cell parameters of the proposed solar cell were: short‐circuit current density (Jsc) of 28.45 mAcm−2, open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.0042 V, fill factor of 63.73%, and power conversion efficiency of 18.21% at 300 K, thus, paving the way for novel perovskite solar cells which are environmentally benign because they are lead‐free, have better absorption efficiency, and can be injected into the production work flow for commercial applications.

“…Later, Yang et al 2015, and Yin et al 2015 further carried out extensive research on material, deposition process, fabrication methods and device structure that enhanced the PCE up to 20.1% experimentally, and theoretically 31.4% [ 3 , 4 ]. Hosseini et al 2022 showed the effect of non-ideal conditions on lead-based CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 perovskite material [ 5 ]. Despite the higher conversion efficiency in the laboratory, it has several issues in terms of commercialization such as environment protection from the toxic lead (Pb) component, and stability under environment conditions due to the organic component used in the ABM 3 structure.…”

The present research work represents the numerical study of the device performance of a lead-free Cs2TiI6−XBrX-based mixed halide perovskite solar cell (PSC), where x = 1 to 5. The open circuit voltage (VOC) and short circuit current (JSC) in a generic TCO/electron transport layer (ETL)/absorbing layer/hole transfer layer (HTL) structure are the key parameters for analyzing the device performance. The entire simulation was conducted by a SCAPS-1D (solar cell capacitance simulator- one dimensional) simulator. An alternative FTO/CdS/Cs2TiI6−XBrX/CuSCN/Ag solar cell architecture has been used and resulted in an optimized absorbing layer thickness at 0.5 µm thickness for the Cs2TiBr6, Cs2TiI1Br5, Cs2TiI2Br4, Cs2TiI3Br3 and Cs2TiI4Br2 absorbing materials and at 1.0 µm and 0.4 µm thickness for the Cs2TiI5Br1 and Cs2TiI6 absorbing materials. The device temperature was optimized at 40 °C for the Cs2TiBr6, Cs2TiI1Br5 and Cs2TiI2Br4 absorbing layers and at 20 °C for the Cs2TiI3Br3, Cs2TiI4Br2, Cs2TiI5Br1 and Cs2TiI6 absorbing layers. The defect density was optimized at 1010 (cm−3) for all the active layers.
