Device-Simulation-Based Performance Analysis of CH3NH3SnI3 Perovskite Solar Cells Incorporating TiO2/GO Hybrid Electron Transport Layers
摘要
In this study, the performance characteristics of methylammonium tin triiodide (CH3NH3SnI3)-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) were investigated through simulation using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS)-1D. The PSCs were fabricated with a titanium dioxide (TiO2)/graphene oxide (GO) composite serving as the electron transport layer (ETL), poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as the hole transport layer (HTL), and a carbon-based back contact. The effects of temperature, the doping concentration in CH3NH3SnI3, the bandgaps of CH3NH3SnI3 and GO, and the defect density at the TiO2/GO interface on the overall device performance were systematically investigated and analyzed. The power conversion efficiency (PCE), fill factor (FF), short-circuit current density (Jsc), and open-circuit voltage (Voc) were optimized to 22.19%, 76.83%, 26.20 mA/cm2, and 1.10 V, respectively. These optimized results are expected to provide valuable guidance for the development of highly efficient and cost-effective PSCs.
