An organic-inorganic solar cell with graphene as an electron transport layer: an approach to increase the carrier collection efficiency

Abstract

Methyl-Ammonium lead halide based solar cell has shown a tremendous approach to fulfill the energy crisis on the earth for its high efficiency and low manufacturing cost. While there are some other materials which influence the execution of Perovskite sunlight based cell, these materials are nothing but the electron as well as hole transport materials. In this article the behavior and performances of electron transport materials are mostly focused which generally increase the proficiency of Perovskite solar cell by simultaneously increasing the open circuit voltage and short circuit current. The role of graphene as an electron transport material is mainly discussed and also compared with some other metal oxide electron transport material as well as organic-based electron transport material. As keeping graphene as an electron transport material the predicted results of Perovskite solar cell are as follows: - maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) = 23.42%, short-circuit-current-densit=3.2SA/m2, open-circuit-voltage=O.86v,fill factor=0.83au. So graphene-based electron transport material can be the entry for the improvement of Perovskite solar cell.
