Abstract
This study designs and analyzes a Cs3Sb2I9-based perovskite solar cell (PSC) using the SCAPS-1D simulator, proposing a planar structure of Mo/Spiro-MeOTAD/Cs3Sb2I9/ZnO0.25S0.75/FTO/Al. The performance of the Cs3Sb2I9 PSC is compared using different hole transport layers (HTLs). It is revealed that Spiro-MeOTAD HTL provides better band alignment with active layer, thus minimizing recombination loss. The photovoltaic properties are also evaluated by adjusting bulk defect density, HTL/absorber and absorber/ETL interface defects, doping levels, and layer thicknesses. The impacts of metal work function and temperature on device efficiency are further explored. After optimizing the device parameters, the simulated PSC achieves efficiency of 20.25 % with open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.52 V, short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 15.02 mA/cm2, and fill-factor (FF) of 88.31 %. These results indicate that ZnO0.25S0.75 as an electron transport layer and Spiro-MeOTAD as a hole transport layer can be effectively used to create efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly Cs3Sb2I9-based PSCs.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
