Abstract

Background: Utilizing surface Plasmon in nanostructures can improve light trapping in solar cells. Method: A novel type of light-trapping structure incorporating nanoparticles of noble metals is under investigation to enhance the transmittance in perovskite solar cell modules (𝐶𝐻3𝑁𝐻3𝑃𝑏𝐼3, 𝐶𝐻3𝑁𝐻3𝑃𝑏𝐵𝑟3, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑁𝐻3𝑃𝑏𝐼2𝐵𝑟). The transmission spectra of the suggested solar cell construction are computed and simulated using the transfer matrix method (TMM). Result: The best cell transmission came from the 𝐶𝐻3𝑁𝐻3𝑃𝑏𝐼3 perovskite cell which was doped by aluminum with 0.05 volume fractions with transmission values of more than 0.85 for each value of wavelength. Moreover, the worst cell is a cell with, 𝐶𝐻3𝑁𝐻3𝑃𝑏𝐵𝑟3 Perovskite and 0.35 gold nanoparticles volume fraction which has the lowest value of transmission up to 0.45 at 450nm wavelength; other proposed cells have transmission values between these two values which can be considered good values. Conclusion: As active layer thickness increases the transmission decreases for all wavelength spectrums, and increasing the doping volume fraction decreases the transmission.
