Title : Simulation of methylammonium lead Iodide perovskite solar cell with different ETL using SCAPS 1D simulator
Abstract:
Methylammonium lead halides perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) have drawn great interest as promising materials in chemistry and physics research fields. The Methylammonium lead halides are solid compounds with perovskite structure and a chemical formula of ABX3, where A is cation organic (CH3-NH3), B is cation usually plumbum, and X is an anion (halogen). The CH3NH3PbI3 is used in solar cell as an absorber layer by Miyasaka et al in 2009. The efficiencies of these technologies of the solar cell have increased from 3.8% in 2009 to 25.5% in 2019 and to 29.15% of silicon-based tandem cells [1, 2].
Due to the high cost of the experimental of the solar cells, researchers have turned to other methods like numerical simulation. Optimization by simulation has the advantage of being simple, inexpensive, and makes to predict the optimal parameters which participate to the manufacture of a cell with better performance. In this study, we evaluate and simulate the performance of a CH3NH3PbI3 lead-based perovskite solar cell through different materials in electron transport layer (ETL) using simulation software SCAPS-1D. We studied the effect of the ETL (CdS ZnS and TiO2) on the cell performance. The highest performance reached 26.33%.
