Numerical analysis guidelines for the design of efficient novel nip structures for perovskite solar cell

Research of lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has gained attention with an urgent intent to eliminate toxic lead in perovskite materials. The prime intention of this research is to supplement the current research progress with a comparative analysis of various lead-free PSCs through numerical simulation analysis using solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS)-1D software. Lead-based toxicity and instability have been one of the major hurdles in restricting perovskite solar cells from being commercialized. This study caters in substituting the need for toxic lead (Pb)-based PSCs with more efficient Pb-free PSCs. The device simulation is carried out in the n– i– p configuration of FTO/[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester/perovskite layer/poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine/Au using six distinct Pb-free perovskites. The impact of various active layers, including hole and electron transport thicknesses and the concentration of doping on solar device performances, has been minutely probed and optimized. CsSnI3 based PSC shows the best power conversion efficiency of 28.97% among all Pb-free devices. This makes very evident its probability to achieve high-performance Pb-free solar devices experimentally at par with lead-based perovskite solar cells in future research.

Research of lead-free perovskite based solar cells has gained speedy and growing attention with urgent intent to eliminate toxic lead in perovskite materials. The main purpose of this work is to supplement the research progress with comparative analysis of different lead-free perovskite based solar cells by numerical simulation method using solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) software. In this work, the device simulation is carried out in the n-i-p configuration of FTO/[6,6]-Phenyl-C61-butyric acidmethyl ester (PCBM) /Perovskite layer/ Poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine(PTAA)/Au using six different lead-free perovskite materials. The impact of different perovskite materials layers including hole and electron transport layer thickness, doping concentration on solar cell performances has thoroughly been investigated and optimized. CsSnI3 based perovskite solar cell shows the highest power conversion efficiency of 28.97 % among all the lead-free perovskite based devices. This clearly indicates that it’s possible to achieve high-performance lead-free perovskite solar cells experimentally at par with lead based perovskite solar cells in future research.

Numerical analysis is a tool that is helping engineers over the past decades in design optimization and low-cost fabrication of solar cell devices. The need of modeling tools is used to deeply analyze a device in a soft environment where the time and cost both can be saved before putting a device into fabrication. In this study, lead iodide-based perovskite solar cells were modeled having several feasible planar pin structures for known electron and hole transport layers. The primarily taken pin device structure for analysis was PEDOT:PSS/MAPbI 3 (I)/PCBM. A total of seventy-two different structures were analyzed. From our results, thirty-seven devices have achieved a maximum efficiency of 21%. The best device structure has achieved a 23.29% PCE. Our proposed results can provide imperative guidelines to researchers for the design of efficient pin structure perovskite solar cells.
