Numerical modeling and performance optimization of carbon-based hole transport layer free perovskite solar cells

Design and optimization of four-terminal mechanically stacked and optically coupled silicon/perovskite tandem solar cells with over 28% efficiency

“…[ 27 ]. In contrast, the top cell was invoked from our previously optimized study on c-PSC [ 28 ]. In both cases, the optimized results are well comparable to experimental reported findings.…”

“…The architecture of the bottom cell is composed of a moderately doped p-type c-Si layer sandwiched between highly doped p-type (p + ) and n-type (n + ) Si layers. The input parameters of different layers are obtained from theoretical and experimental literatures, including our previous study [ 23 , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ], and presented in Table 1 . The interface defect layer (IDL) is assumed to consider interface recombination.…”

Experimental Validation of Optimized Solar Cell Capacitance Simulation for Rheology‐Modulated Carbon‐Based Hole Transport Layer‐Free Perovskite Solar Cell

“…In the SCAPS simulation, the interface defects between the ETL/ZrO 2 and ZrO 2 /perovskite layers were considered neutral, which implied they did not introduce a net charge or did not cause an excess of electrons or holes in the material. [37,38] Since the influence of ETL and perovskite layers in the C-PSC performance is mostly highlighted in this work, interface defects were made neutral and single for the uniformity of simulation results. Also, according to literature, the assumption of neutral and single defects facilitates a clearer understanding of the specific impact of ETL and perovskite layers' characteristics rather than complex arrangements.…”

A numerical approach to optimize the performance of HTL-free carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells using organic ETLs

“…6.6% [ 16 ], later on compositional engineering and use of novel fabrication techniques improved efficiencies over 18% [ 18 ]. In addition, device efficiencies of 20.43% and over 25% have also been realized by employing simulation studies [ 19 , 20 ]. With the maximum theoretical Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit standing above 30% for single junction solar cells [ 21 ], avenues are still wide open for research in this domain to explore better, more efficient, and cost-effective configurations [ 22 ].…”
