Abstract

Component hybrid perovskites solar cells (PSC) are emerging as a new class of semiconductors that combine high absorption coefficient and excellent transport properties. In this context, we are modeling perovskite solar cells using a number of organic and inorganic hole transport materials (HTMs) using SCAPS-1D software. A comparative theoretical study on the performance of PSCs is reported using methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) as an absorber layer and tungsten trioxide WO3 as the electron transport material (ETM). After examining various solar cell configurations, the Glass/FTO/WO3/MAPbI3/SnS/Au design has the optimum photovoltaic performance. This model is made to optimize the thickness of the absorbing layer, and its acceptor dopant density NA. Simulation results reveal that the higher power conversion efficiency is 32.99% for an absorber thickness of 400 nm, and for dopant density NA of 1 × 1017 cm−3, with a fill factor (FF) of 73.09%.
