Performance Analysis of Perovskite Solar Cell with Inorganic Hole Transport Material using SCAPS-1D

Abstract

Perovskite photovoltaic cells have become one of the best inspiring photovoltaic materials in recent years, drawing the curiosity of the scientific community. The most efficient devices now available have solar to electrical power transformation efficiencies that are close to 25%. These devices use perovskite as a concrete absorber layer crammed between n and p type charge gathering contacts. The design and analysis of a lead founded perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) solar cell model with a cutting-edge architecture of (Glass/ TCO/ PCBM/ CH3NH3PbI3/ CuO/ Au) are the key focus of this research. The structural enterprise of perovskite solar cell (PSC) is examined using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) software. With the help of an inorganic hole transport material (HTM), this numerical simulation evaluates the solar cell performance. Following that, the outcomes are contrasted with those of the organic material. Considering 300K as room temperature, the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) is found at 27.78% after the thickness of perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) layer is 0.45μm. The proposed model with an inorganic material shows a better efficiency as compared to the existing organic material. Finally, to fabricate high efficient solar cell and rationally determine material characteristics, this simulation effort will offer useful information.
