Abstract
Solar cells offer a viable option for creating new clean energy solutions, though they may require supplementary energy sources. Renewable electricity sources, known for being affordable, accessible, and greenhouse gas-free, are increasingly popular. Photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity, stand out as an excellent choice. Over the past two decades, advancements in photovoltaic technology have significantly reduced costs and enhanced the efficiency of solar cells.[4] Perovskite materials, recognized for their unique crystal structure and versatile properties, hold particular promise for solar energy applications. The hole transport layer (HTL) is vital for the efficiency of solar cells using perovskite materials such as CH3NH3PbI3. Simulation software like the SCAPS Tool has demonstrated the importance of the HTL in these cells. Quantitative simulations and models have been employed to ascertain the electrical properties of the MAPbI3 material in the active layer. These studies focus on parameters like fill factor (FF), short-circuit current density (Jsc), power conversion efficiency (PCE), and open-circuit voltage (Voc). Additional calculations have been conducted for the capacitance-frequency (C-F) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of previously studied perovskite solar cells. Simulation results indicate the performance of MAPbI3 with varying ETL thicknesses. For instance at an ETL thickness of 0.020, the cells exhibited, FF = 41.69% ,PCE = 30.95%, Voc = 2.79V, Jsc = 26.53 mA/cm², at an ETL thickness of 0.030, the cells exhibited, FF = 41.62%, PCE = 30.93%, Voc = 2.80V, Jsc = 26.48 mA/cm², at an ETL thickness of 0.040, the cells exhibited, FF = 41.60%, PCE = 30.95%, Voc = 2.80V, Jsc = 26.48 mA/cm².
Keywords: Perovskite solar cell, CH3NH3PbI3, Cu2O, C-f, C-V, FF, Voc, Jsc, and PCE
