Computational Modelling of Lead Based Mixed Halide Perovskite Solar Cells: An Advanced Study| Chapter 12 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 3

 Due to substantial breakthroughs in renewable energy and solar cell technology, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a bright spot in the photovoltaics area. Despite the fact that this relatively new technology has a bright future in terms of utilising solar energy to generate power, its cost-effective commercialization will necessitate additional research. By reproducing experimental situations in a virtual environment, computational modelling and simulation studies can be used to estimate the efficiency and stability of PSCs. The SCAPS-1D software is used to simulate and analyse the performance of different Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) with different back contact metals, electron transport layers, and hole transport layers. Using IGZO and CuSCN as the electron and hole transport layers, this study presents the performance of PSCs with mixed halide perovskites, CH3NH3PbI3-XBrX for X=1,2, as absorber layers. The study's major goal is to find the device configuration with the optimum photovoltaic parameters and then use a modelling study to improve the device's performance even more. With a PCE of 15.40 percent and an FF of 65.69 percent, the device configuration FTO/IGZO/CH3NH3PbI3-XBrX/CuSCN/Au for X=1 has the best performance. The optimum defect density for the CH3NH3PbI3-XBrX absorber layer with X=1 is found to be 11014 cm-3. The optimum dopant density for PSCs with CH3NH3PbI3-XBrX as the absorber layer and X=1 is found to be 1.01014 cm-3.
