Abstract

While solar energy is a viable option, future clean energy solutions may require other energy sources. Renewable electricity sources are known for being affordable, easy to access, and not producing greenhouse gases. Photovoltaic cells, which turn sunlight into electrical power, are a good choice. Over the last twenty years, advancements in photovoltaic technology have lowered costs and improved the efficiency of solar cells. Perovskite materials, recognized for their unique crystal structure and flexible properties, are particularly promising for solar energy. The solar cell simulation software (SCAPS) Tool demonstrates that the hole transport layer (HTL) is essential for the efficiency of solar cells employing perovskite materials like CH3NH3PbI3. The electrical characteristics of MAPbI3 material in the active layer have been ascertained using quantitative computations and mathematical models, with particular attention to variables such as fill factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (PCE), short-circuit current density (Jsc), and open-circuit voltage (Voc). The capacitance-frequency (C-F) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) of previously researched solar power cells made from perovskite have been calculated. The simulation results show that MAPbI3 at different thickness of HTL provide FF=86.59, PCE=29.54, Voc=1.1837, and Jsc=28.82 mA/cm² at the 0.100 thickness and FF=85.64, PCE=29.22, Voc=1.1837, and Jsc=28.82 mA/cm² at 0.200 thickness and also FF=74.96, PCE=28.97, Voc=1.3408, and Jsc=28.82 mA/cm² at 0.300 thickness.

Keywords: Perovskite solar cell, CH3NH3PbI3, CuI, C-f, C-V, FF, Voc, Jsc, and PCE
