Abstract

Perovskite/Silicon tandem solar cells have earned substantial attention in the field of photovoltaics (PVs) due to their potential high-efficiency energy conversion. The provided TCAD simulation in the current work aims at delivering a novel design for a 4-T Perovskite/PERL p-type Si tandem solar cell. The main structure consists of ITO/CuSCN/Perovskite/PC60PM/AZO/AgNW as the top cell and a conventional PERL p-Si as the bottom cell. Simulation results showed that the proposed top cell structure achieves a significant performance after substituting Zn(O_0.3,S_0.7) for AZO and PC60PM electron transport layers (ETLs), while replacing CuSCN with CuI as a suitable alternative for the hole transport layer (HTL). These modifications achieved an efficiency of 19.81% for the top cell. The bottom cell also attained a noteworthy level of performance by using bifacial dual-side-textured construction with efficiencies reaching 29.11% and 14.08% for bare and filtered cells, respectively. With these combined modifications, the PCE (power conversion efficiency) reached 33.89%, showing significant improvement compared to the base structure.

提高 4-T 双面双层珍珠岩/珍珠硅串联太阳能电池的效率：工艺和器件 TCAD 仿真研究

由于具有潜在的高效率能量转换能力，光伏（PV）领域中的珍珠光泽石/硅串联太阳能电池备受关注。本研究提供的 TCAD 仿真旨在为 4-T Perovskite/PERL p 型硅串联太阳能电池提供一种新颖的设计。主要结构包括作为顶部电池的 ITO/CuSCN/Perovskite/PC60PM/AZO/AgNW 和作为底部电池的传统 PERL p 型硅。仿真结果表明，在用 Zn(O0.3,S0.7) 替代 AZO 和 PC60PM 电子传输层（ETL），同时用 CuI 替代 CuSCN 作为空穴传输层（HTL）的合适替代品之后，拟议的顶部电池结构实现了显著的性能。这些改进使顶部电池的效率达到了 19.81%。通过使用双面双侧纹理结构，底部电池的性能也达到了值得注意的水平，裸电池和过滤电池的效率分别达到了 29.11% 和 14.08%。通过这些综合改进，PCE（功率转换效率）达到了 33.89%，与基本结构相比有了显著提高。
