This paper reports the optimization of perovskite solar cell (PSC) devices with a triple-graded active layer by using a numerical simulation approach to achieve a better power conversion efficiency (PCE). An optoelectrical model is applied to achieve excellent light trapping by combining perovskite absorbing layers (PALs) with certain bandgap values, namely 1.6 eV, 1.7 eV, and 1.8 eV, for improved photogeneration. The optimized device structure exhibits an optimized short-circuit current density (J SC ) of 20.05 mA/cm 2 and open-circuit voltage (V OC ) of 1.1 V, with an average fill factor (FF) of 86% and maximum PCE approaching 19%. Furthermore, the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE), with an average of 82%, was also achieved because of the improved optical characteristics of the PSC device, particularly in the visible spectrum range. Owing to the greatly improved short-circuit current density, the double carrier-transport materials with triple PAL stack effectively enhances the device performance parameters, as well as opening an avenue for future developments and device optimization.

Tandem solar cells have been researched to enhance the performance of the second generation (II-VI) thin-film solar cells. In this study, we have developed an efficient tandem solar cell model by optimizing the thickness of the (II-VI) layers and by introducing Mg doped ZnO as the window material for the top cell. The tandem solar cell model consists of a top cell, n-MZO/p-CdTe and a bottom cell, n-CdS/p-Cu(In, Ga)Se 2 (CIGS). The parameters of the computational model, such as thicknesses of n-CdS, p-CIGS. p-CdTe has been varied to improve the efficiency of the tandem solar cell and compared with the previous researched single junction thin-film solar cells. All the numerical experiments were conducted under one sun illumination condition with AM 1.5 G solar spectrum by using the Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures simulation software (AMPS-1D) and Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS 1-D) software. The observed open circuit voltage was 1.413 V and the efficiency wa sincreased to 28.84% and this is a huge improvement compared to the reported recorded best research cell values of 0.8 V and 24.2% respectively for single junction solar cell.
