Molybdenum-based perovskite solar cell with resistance and layer thickness impact on PCE and fill factor

Abstract

The performance of a perovskite photovoltaic cell based on an active layer of molybdenum trioxide and methyl ester was studied, and the results are described in this research. The FTO/MoO3/perovskite layer/PC60bm-Au is a "Fluorinedoped Tin Oxide: Molybdenum Trioxide: Perovskite Layer: PC60bm (a polycarbonate-based material) and Gold" structure that was subjected to electrical simulation using the General-Purpose Photovoltaic Device Model (GPVDM) software. The effect of series resistance and layer thickness on Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) and Fill Factor (FF) in a Perovskite Solar Cell (PSC) based on an absorbing layer was examined using the GPVDM program. Adjustments were made by varying the values of series resistance and layer thickness. The results demonstrate that changing the value of series resistance and layer thickness can boost Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE). In this case, it resulted in an increase in Power Conversion Efficiency from 17% to 21% and an improvement in Fill Factor from 66% to 72%.
