Abstract
All-inorganic Cs2TiIxBr(6-x)-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are recently attracting a lot of attention for their tunable bandgaps, earth abundance, non-toxicity, and ultra-stability. Among the Cs2TiIxBr(6-x) family of materials, Cs2TiI2Br4 with a bandgap of ∼1.38 eV has the potential to be an excellent single junction solar cell material with a theoretically higher Shockley-Queisser limit of power conversion efficiency (PCE). Its excellent optoelectronic properties make it a potential candidate for being the highest-performing PSC from the Cs2TiIxBr(6-x) family. In our study, a total of eight hole transport materials (P3HT, PTAA, Spiro-OMeTAD, PEDOT:Pss, CuSCN, CuI, NiO, and MoO3) and six electron transport materials (PCBM, TiO2, CdS, SnO2, ZnO, and IGZO) were investigated to select suitable charge transport materials. The defect densities of interface and absorber, different absorber layer thicknesses, several metal work functions, series-shunt resistance, and temperature were investigated to derive the conditions for optimum performance. After thorough investigation, we derived four novel devices with the combination of all the organic and inorganic charge transport materials to provide optimum performance. Among them, the combination of inorganic SnO2 and CuSCN as electron and hole transport layer respectively achieved the highest PCE of 23.41 %.
