Study on Performance Optimization of Perovskite Solar Cells Based on MAPbI3

Abstract

AbstractMethylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) is a kind of perovskite material, which can effectively absorb photons in sunlight, with an adjustable band gap and relatively stable performance. Aiming at the problem of photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells, this paper proposes a perovskite solar cell with MAPbI3 as an absorption layer. The device structure adopts a trans structure with good stability and low cost, and the hole transport layer adopts poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT:PSS) material, which has good electrical properties and interface properties, and has certain transparency. The electron transport layer adopts tin oxide (SnO2), and its energy band structure is beneficial to carrier transport, and it has excellent electron transport performance and chemical stability, which makes it a material for the electron transport layer. The top electrode and the bottom electrode are made of indium tin oxide (ITO) and aurum (Au) with high reliability respectively. The thickness, band gap, and defect concentration of the battery are simulated by solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS) software. The results show that the thickness and band gap of the absorption layer has great influence on the performance of the battery. The open‐circuit voltage, short‐circuit current density, filling factor and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the optimized perovskite solar cell reached 1.219 V, 30.1641 mA cm−2, 70.14%, and 25.78% respectively.
