In this work, several designs of lead-based and lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been developed and investigated. For the proposed designs, CH3NH3PbI3 (lead-based), FAMASnGeI3, and CsGeI3 (lead-free) are used as absorber materials, [Formula: see text] and NiO have been used as Hole Transport Layer (HTL) materials and TiO2 as Electron Transport Layer (ETL) materials. ETL materials, in general, have more concern with stability issues and HTL materials have more issues with efficiency improvements. The effect of changing thickness, doping density and defect density of the absorber layer, as well as HTL, defect density of absorber/HTL interface and work functions of front and back contacts on the performance of the proposed devices, are investigated. To enhance the device performance, optimization of the device parameters is performed. After optimization of different parameters, it is observed that the lead-based device structure TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/NiO has a maximum efficiency of 29.94%. Even the corresponding lead-free device structure TiO2/CsGeI3/NiO exhibits a maximum efficiency of 29.19%. Additionally, this study delved into the influence of altering series and shunt resistances, as well as temperature on the operational characteristics of the lead-free optimized device. Such eco-friendly and cost-effective alternatives as lead-free perovskite cells can be very promising for future work.

Organic-inorganic heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are of high interest due to their low manufacturing cost and higher power conversion efficiency (PCE). Hence, we study the opto-electro-thermal (OET) characteristics and investigate the optical and carrier transport and thermodynamic behaviors on the PSC. In this research, optical and electrical coupled behavior is investigated, and the results of this simulation are in the optimal state for nanoparticles (NPs) with a diameter of 50 nm: the short-circuit current (Jsc) of 18.05 mA/cm2, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.9406 V, and PCE of 14.15% were obtained. Then, by adding thermal behavior to optical and electrical physics, thermal effects and power losses in the solar cell were obtained. In this case, 221.5 W/m2 Joule heat, 154 W/m2 thermal heat, 123 W/m2 Peltier heat, and 92.3 W/m2 nonradiative heat waste power were achieved. Under these losses, the electrical parameters decrease. The parameters are Jsc=21.74 mA/cm2, Voc=0.94 V, and PCE=13.53%. The best case is obtained for the structure without NPs.
