Design and numerical simulation of lead-free inorganic perovskites (Cs2BiAgI6) solar cell through computation method

Abstract

Cs2BiAgI6 is a lead-free inorganic perovskite material exhibits exceptional photoelectric characteristics and great environmental stability. HTL/Cs2BiAgI6is/ETLs solar cells was investigated numerically by using SCAPS 1-D Capacitance Simulator. IGZO, TiO2, WO3, MoO3, and SnO2 have been chosen as ETLs, while CuO, CuI, and MoO3 are as HTLs. The values of electrical parameters were calculated as function of thickness of the absorber layer, ETLs, HTLs, interface defect densities, doping densities, and working temperature. Comparative study shows that best configuration of obtain solar cell is MoO3/Cs2BiAgI6/IGZO. The obtain value of Jsc, Voc, FF and PCE are 23.80 mA/cm2, 1.193 V, 83.46 %, 23.711 % respectively. The value of quantum efficiency is 80–90 % in the range of 350–750 nm. These results will open the door for the widespread use of stable and environmentally friendly perovskite solar cells by providing theoretical recommendations for high performance of Cs2BiAgI6 based photovoltaic solar cells (PSCs).
