Effect study of Cu2O in Perovskite (CH3NH3PbX3, X: I, Br, Cl) Solar Cell as Hole Transport Layer

Abstract

Abstract The detailed modeling and mathematical simulation on perovskite solar cells have been performed with three various perovskite materials, such as “methyl ammonium lead trial halide (MAPbX 3 , MA= CH 3 NH 3 , X: I, Br, Cl)” with aid of solar cell capacitance simulator software (SCAPS) tools. The electrical possessions of MAPbX 3 material performed as “active layer” and measured different parameters such as “open-circuit voltage (V oc ), fill factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (PCE), and short-circuit current density (J sc ) respectively”. In the construction of the perovskite solar cell, cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) material serves as “hole transport layer (HTL)”. The simulated results show that MAPbI 3 has better determined structural parameters (FF= 85.45, PCE= 28.69%, V oc = 1.20V, J sc = 27.84 mAcm -2 ) compared with MAPbBr 3 and MAPbCl 3 . All of the above measured parameter’s have been compared with other workers with existing experimental and reported values and show strong covenant with recorded values.
