“…Furthermore, it has also been demonstrated that an increase in temperature puts the device under stress and strain, increasing defects, enhancing series resistance, and reducing shunt resistance, which causes a rapid drop in the FF. [40][41][42][43] Table 3 summarizes various parameters such as the device architecture and performance outcomes (Voc, Jsc, FF, PCE) of the current study and also the best reported values are compiled for reference.…”

The interfacial defects or imperfections in the multilayer perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are detrimental for efficient and stable devices. To produce highly efficient and stable PSCs, a bilayer between the interfaces of electron‐transport material/perovskite and perovskite/hole‐transport material can be useful for suppressing recombinations at these interfaces. To passivate the interfacial defects at the perovskite/SnO2 and perovskite/Spiro‐OMeTAD for three absorber materials (CsPbI3, FAPbI3, and Cs0.05(FA0.83MA0.17)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3), a thin layer of WO3 and poly‐bathocuproine interfacial layer is explored using solar cell capacitance simulation in 1D. The optimized device photovoltaic performances significantly improve using bilayers. The power conversion efficiency for the FAPbI3‐based PSCs in bilayer configuration is more than 12% as compared to pristine, whereas open‐circuit voltage is improved by over 13%. The enhancement in device performance is attributed to the reduction of interfacial defects at both the electron transport layer/perovskite and perovskite/hole transport layer interfaces. The proposed interface modification strategy provides a novel approach for fabricating efficient perovskite devices.

“…The minority carriers travel a longer distance to reach the FTO electrode as the ETL thickness increases and so there is a higher chance of recombination and series resistance, resulting in a decrease in FF and efficiency. [ 35,58 ] The J SC becomes saturated and independent of ETL thickness after it reaches a particular thickness. Furthermore, as the ETL thickness (travel distance) of charge carriers increases, recombination takes precedence over separation, resulting in FF and V OC losses (as shown in Figure S1a, Supporting Information).…”

Effective conversion of solar photons into electrical power through the development of smart and eco‐friendly materials is one of the most extensively researched methods for generating renewable energy. In this work, an inorganic lead‐free double perovskite Cs2SnI6 material is employed as an active layer for solar cell applications, together with GO (graphene oxide) as electron transport layer (ETL) and Cu2O as hole transport layer (HTL). In order to find the most efficient photovoltaic device, a detailed theoretical study using the SCAPS‐1D simulation program is conducted. The device performance is monitored and analyzed by considering various HTLs, doping density in active layer, light intensity, ETL thickness, operating temperature, parasitic resistances, and the role of defects on device performance. The optimized device displays a power conversion efficiency of 23.64% with excellent photovoltaic characteristics. This theoretical study reveals that Cs2SnI6 can be a promising choice for solar cell applications as a lead‐free double perovskite material.

“…In that sense, numerical simulation can be a very useful tool for studying solar cell performance. One of these tools is the SCAPS 1D software (version 3.3.09), which has been shown to be useful for investigating various solar cell parameters such as device thickness, resistance, and temperature [ 3 ], the theoretical impact of novel hole transport layers [ 4 ], and multiple terminal tandem perovskite devices [ 5 ], or even estimating the potential solar cell devices comprising chalcogenide-based perovskite active layers [ 6 ].…”

Simulation and Optimization of FAPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells with a BaTiO3 Layer for Efficiency Enhancement

Since the addition of BaTiO3 in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) provides a more energetically favorable transport route for electrons, resulting in more efficient charge separation and electron extraction, in this work we experimentally prepared such a PSC and used a modeling approach to point out which simulation parameters have an influence on PSC characteristics and how they can be improved. We added a layer of BaTiO3 onto the TiO2 electron transport layer and prepared a PSC, which had an FTO/TiO2/BaTiO3/FAPbI3/spiro-OMeTAD/Au architecture with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11%. Further, we used the simulation program SCAPS-1D to investigate and optimize the device parameters (thickness of the BaTiO3 and absorber layers, doping, and defect concentration) resulting in devices with PCEs reaching up to 15%, and even up to 20% if we assume an ideal structure with no interlayer defects. Our experimental findings and simulations in this paper highlight the promising interplay of multilayer TiO2/BaTiO3 ETLs for potential future applications in PSCs.
