Design Optimization of Solar Energy Harvesting Using Perovskite Solar Cell for Electric Vehicles Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

Excellent charge-carrier mobilities and life time of perovskite materials enables it with exceptional light absorption capacity. This provides improved device potential and performance with low-cost commercially feasible technology. The challenges towards handling the perovskite cells are its strength and its environmentally compatible property. Resolving these issues leads perovskite-based technology to hold an innovative potential for quick terawatt-scale solar power distribution. In this line, Organic Photovoltaic is a fast developing PV technology with improved the cell efficiency and life time performance. As organic Photovoltaic cell is available in mulit-colours and can be used to build transparent devices, it finds its application in building-integrated Organic Photovoltaic fair. Optimization of device physics, charge-transport methods, charge-separation procedures, and interfacial effects, would enable the development of stable, more effective device architectures. In this direction, multi-physics simulation software based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to determine the electrical performance of the device. It is constructed on materials with enhanced energy-level orientation, spectrum responsiveness, and carrier transport properties, leading to the design of more effective, reliable device architectures. In this work, hybrid perovskite semiconductor based 2D Organic Photovoltaic cell is developed using finite element method that can be applied on the roof of the electric vehicles for photo energy generation.
