“…In addition, the effect of temperature variation of Sb 2 Se 3 and Sb 2 S 3 based heterojunction solar cell is shown in Figure S1. It has been revealed that at high temperatures, the efficiency of Sb 2 Se 3 and Sb 2 S 3 based heterojunction solar cell reduces, which is consistent with the reported works as well [ 94 ].…”

“…Due to such variations, the cell efficiency could be slowly reduced as a result of the reduction of J SC because of the elevated recombination phenomenon by increasing the carrier density. [ 70 ] When the value of N A has been varied from 10 16 to 10 17 cm −3 , all of the functional properties of PSI solar cells were decreased, and they maintained a constant value when the acceptor density exceeded 10 17 cm −3 as shown in Figure 7. Such a phenomenon might be the result of increasing the recombination rate and series resistance of devices.…”

Organic‐based photosystem I (PSI) protein complex bio‐solar cells have appeared as strong candidates for very low‐cost and environmentally friendly photovoltaic devices. The main challenge is their low power conversion efficiency (PCE). Such bottleneck stage in efficiency could be improved from the aspects of the absorber layer and carrier transporting layers. The proposed efficient, eco‐friendly, and simple procedure by applying a uniform pulsed electric field to align PSI dipoles leads to improved significant efficiency. Herein, the experimentally found functional data to benchmark cells have been employed to validate the first PSI numerical model using solar cell capacitance simulator‐1D for the first time. Simulation results show a reasonable agreement with those of experimental. The performance response of the second indium tin oxide/PEDOT: PSS/PSI/Au model is evaluated by varying the physical parameters of the hole transport layer (HTL). PCE characteristic achieved a fourfold increment in the crucial conduction band offset region owing to the reasonable barrier formation of electrons in the HTL/absorber interface. The optimum doping concentration is authorized at a certain μp > 10−2 cm2 V−1 S−1 with an HTL thickness in the order of 102 nm estimating an efficient numerical model compared to the HTL‐free cell.

Hybrid organic–inorganic halides are considered as outstanding materials when used as the absorber layer in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) because of its efficiency, relieve of fabrication and low‐cost materials. However, the content of lead (Pb) in the material may origin a dramatic after effect on human's health caused by its toxicity. Here, we investigate replacing the lead in MAPbI3 with tin (Sn) to show its influence on the growth of the film nucleation and stability of the solar device based on MASnI3. By analysing the manufactured perovskite films by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible absorption, photoluminescence (PL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), the properties of the thin films when lead is replaced by tin are reported. The simulation run for the case of MAPbI3 is reported, where Voc = 0.856 V, Jsc = 25.65 mA cm−2, FF = 86.09%, and ETA = 18.91%, and for MASnI3, Voc = 0.887 V, Jsc = 14.02 mA cm−2, FF = 83.72%, and ETA = 10.42%. In perovskite‐based devices using MASnI3 as absorber, it was found to be more stable despite of its lower efficiency, which could be improved by enhancing the bandgap alignment of MaSnI3. The results of this paper also allow the development of a new, reliable production system for PSCs.
