Theoretical simulation of mixed organic–inorganic perovskite solar cell using SCAPS-1D simulator

Abstract

In this work, a triple cation mix halide perovskite solar cell is explored to improve its stability and efficiency. FTO/SnO2/perovskite/CuSCN/carbon the device structure is simulated using SCAPS-1D and outcomes and found in good agreements with experimental results. Furthermore, the effect of various parameters like absorbance coefficient, reflection of front surface, defect capture cross section and defect position on device performance are examined. This optimized device exhibits high PCE, 27.10 % with Voc = 1.24 V, Jsc = 25.37 mA/cm2 and FF = 85.70 %. Finally, the effects of temperature, absorber defect density and interface defect density are computed on optimised structure and observed degradation in device performance with increase in these factors. Lastly, the results are concluded using J-V and EQE curves. This study may be vital in the development of stable and highly efficient triple cation perovskite solar cell technology.
