As perovskite solar cell (PSC) technology is about to be commercialized, the use of toxic and organic material is still a problem. At the same time, CsSnI 3 has received widespread attention because of its narrow bandgap and non-toxicity. In this study, we use the wxAMPS tool to investigate the limitations of Sn-based all-inorganic PSCs, using CsSnI 3 perovskite as the absorption layer and Au as the back electrode to create non-toxic all-inorganic PSCs. CsSnI 3 is a narrow-band material; the absorption range can be extended to the near-infrared spectral region, and it has a very high hole mobility. Therefore, this article first compares several potential inorganic electron and hole transport layers (ETLs and HTLs), and the results show that C 60 ETL and MoOx HTL are the most suitable materials. Moreover, the device performance is further improved by optimizing the absorber thickness as well as the doping density. Under optimized conditions, a conversion efficiency of 19.25% is obtained for the FTO/C 60 /CsSnI 3 /MoOx/Au PSCs, indicating that there is much room for further performance enhancement. The photovoltaic performance parameters achieve their optimum value at an absorber thickness is better among the range of 100-1300 nm and doping density of 10 19 cm −3 . This shows that the proposed non-toxic all-inorganic PSCs have broad prospects in future photovoltaic and optoelectronics applications, and provide theoretical guidance for the manufacture of a non-toxic and inorganic PSCs.

The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) for organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells based on lead is reported as 25.2% in 2019. Lead-based hybrid perovskite materials are used in several photovoltaics applications, but these are not highly favored due to the toxicity of lead and volatility of organic cations. On the other hand, hybrid lead-free double perovskite has no such harm. In this research study, SCAPS numerical simulation is utilized to evaluate and compare the results of perovskite solar cell based on double perovskite FA 2 BiCuI 6 and standard perovskite CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 as an active layer. The results show that the power conversion efficiency obtained in the case of FA 2 BiCuI 6 is 24.98%, while in the case of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 , it is reported as 26.42%. This indicates that the hybrid organic-inorganic double perovskite FA 2 BiCuI 6 has the ability to replace hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 to expand next-generation lead-free harmless materials for solar cell applications.

The new form of renewable energy attracts enormous attention from researchers for its immense importance and impact on our daily life. A fossil energy is a non‐renewable source that will end shortly because of its immense use in houses and industries. Among the renewable sources, solar cells based on perovskite (PVK) materials exponentially increase their efficiency from 3.8% to 25.8% rapidly in a diminutive period of time. In the present study, doped and undoped PVK layers (MAPbI3, MAPb[I1‐xClx]3) are considered and optimized for solar cell application by using the SCAPS‐1D device simulator. A detailed investigation is done in terms of PVK absorber layer (PAL) thickness variation with different electron and hole transport layers, temperature, and bulk defect density to optimize the device performance. The MAPb(I1‐xClx)3‐based device delivered the highest conversion efficiency of ~29% with JSC of 25.59 mA/cm2, VOC of 1.348 Volt, and an FF of about 83.68%. Results reported in this work may pave the way for the development of advanced high‐efficiency PVK solar cells.
