Abstract

Due to the superb characteristics of its light-harvesting, the Perovskite sensitizer ABX3 (A = CH3NH3, B = Pb, Sn, and X = Cl, Br, I) has recently attracted great attention. Perovskite is composed of inexpensive and earth abundant materials. It is processable at low temperature preferably via the printing techniques. In addition, the charges in the bulk material after light absorption that enhances low loss in energy charge generation and collection were generated freely. In this research work, Solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) was used to harnessing the real device hybrid Perovskite (PSC) solar cell with material parameters obtained from literatures and experiment used in the definition panel and the arrangement of an hybrid (FTO/ZnO/CZTS/PSCS/CZTS/HTM) model in the SCAPS-1D simulator. From the simulated results obtained the Band gap diagram and other curves were constructed. The efficiency greater than twenty percent (>20%) was achieved, which shows that having a combination of two different absorbers were achievable and calling for great attention from the researchers.

Summary

Introduction

SCAPS software will be used to simulate a Perovskite based solar cell. SCAPS-1D was used in this work to harnessing the real dethrough the Transparent conductive oxide (TCO), which serves vice hybrid Perovskite (PSC) solar cell with material parameas a window layer, passes across the electron transport layer (n- ters defined in Table 1.0 which were used in the definition panel type ZnO) which serves as a buffer layer and enters the absorber of the SCAPS-1D simulator.
