Cloud-based machine learning approach for performance prediction of HTL-free CsSnCl3 perovskite solar cells
摘要
Lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained significant interest in recent years due to their eco-friendly nature and cost-effectiveness. Among the promising lead-free absorber materials for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the cesium tin chloride (CsSnCl3) has been recognized as one of the best alternatives. In this work, the photovoltaic (PV) characteristics of HTL-free CsSnCl3-based PSCs have been simulated using the solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D), and the impact of different electron transport layers (ETLs) has been explored. The best device configuration was found to be Au/CsSnCl3/TiO2/TCO/Front Contact, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 23.21%. The open-circuit voltage (VOC) was found to be 1.07 V, while the short-circuit current density (JSC) and fill factor (FF) were found to be 26.20 mA/cm2 and 88.10%, respectively. To predict the performance of the PSCs rapidly and effectively, a Histogram-Based Gradient Boosting Regressor (HistGBR) model has been created using seven significant parameters. The model was tested using a set of 11,520 data points and was assessed using the fivefold cross-validation method. The accuracy of the model was found to be satisfactory, achieving a coefficient of determination (
