Tandem structures have been introduced to the photovoltaics (PV) market to boost power conversion efficiency (PCE). Single-junction cells’ PCE, either in a homojunction or heterojunction format, are clipped to a theoretical limit associated with the absorbing material bandgap. Scaling up the single-junction cells to a multi-junction tandem structure penetrates such limits. One of the promising tandem structures is the perovskite over silicon topology. Si junction is utilized as a counter bare cell with perovskites layer above, under applying the bandgap engineering aspects. Herein, we adopt BaTiO 3 /CsPbCl 3 /MAPbBr 3 /CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 /c-Si tandem structure to be investigated. In tandem PVs, various input parameters can be tuned to maximize PCE, leading to a massive increase in the input combinations. Such a vast dataset directly reflects the computational requirements needed to simulate the wide range of combinations and the computational time. In this study, we seed our random-forest machine learning model with the 3×10 6 points’ dataset with our optoelectronic numerical model in SCAPS. The machine learning could estimate the maximum PCE limit of the proposed tandem structure at around 37.8%, which is more than double the bare Si-cell reported by 18%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
