Abstract:

Recently, all inorganic perovskite solar cells have triggered great attention thanks to the rising performance during their development in solid state photovoltaics showing enhanced characteristics, such as: good stability, high photoluminescence quantum yield, tunable size, and morphology. In this work, a high open-circuit voltage solar cell based on all-inorganic perovskite through SCAPS simulator program is presented by analysing electron transport layer (ETL), perovskite layer, hole transport layer (HTL) thickness and doping density from a FTO/TiO2/CsPbBr3/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au structure were modified to observe its influence on solar cell performance. Therefore, simulation results show that a thicker ETL hinders carrier transport towards the FTO layer due to larger distance which leads to higher recombination rate, reducing carrier’s lifetime. Albeit high doping density values in ETL enhances the overall solar cell performance. As for the absorber layer, while its thickness increases, carrier collection rate decreases due to recombination impacting Voc, which results from thickness increase. Based on the results, solar cell efficiency improvement is attributed to the built-in electric field as absorber layer doping density increases. While HTL thickness has minimum impact on the solar cell output, doping density enhances device parameters significantly. Summarising the results obtained from thickness and doping density simulations, the optimal solar cell operation was obtained at 10 nm, 600 nm, and 100 nm layer thickness as well as 1020 cm-3, 1016 cm-3, and 1020 cm-3 doping density (TiO2, CsPbBr3 and Spiro-OMeTAD). Results from three different sources, collected from literature, were used to compare, and fitting them along with simulation results.
