The Performance of High-efficiency Perovskite Solar Cell (PSC) by Using Capacitance Simulator

Abstract

Organic-inorganic perovskite-based solar cell fascinated researchers around the world with their immense interest. Since 2009, intensive work on photovoltaic perovskite systems reached efficiencies over 20% relative to silicon-based solar cells with a current efficiency of approximately 17%. The current research paper presents the suitable choice of solar cell materials such as hole transport materials, type of perovskite material, the electron transport layer among others. A photovoltaic device is then built using the chosen materials which are then investigated through simulations using the SCAPS 1D program to determine the effects that these layer materials have on the performance of the overall PV device. Simulation methods are also used to optimize the parameters of the constructed device such as the thickness of the electrodes, the hole transport layer and the light absorber material. The simulation results showed an efficiency of 20.34 % using gold (Au) contacts.

Structural and Optical Properties of Cadmium Sulfide-doped Silver Deposited on Glass and Polymer Substrates by Chemical Spray Pyrolysis

“…Recent advances in thin film nanotechnology (Ahmed, et al, 2021b) offer a possible method for solar energy applications to lessen the environmental crisis brought on by energy use. Because solar energy is one of the most significant renewable energy sources, scientists have created or modified several semiconductor thin films to optimize high solar cell efficiencies at cheap cost (Ahmed, et al, 2020). Due to its broad bandgap (2.42 eV) at ambient temperature, chalcogenides of cadmium, notably cadmium sulfide (CdS), are one of the most actively researched topics among material scientists (Islam, et al, 2013, Shkir, et al, 2020c.…”
