摘要

In this study, we investigate the performance of a lead-free WS₂/NaZnBr₃/NiO perovskite solar cell using SCAPS-1D simulations. Key photovoltaic parameters, including short-circuit current density (JSC), open-circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE), are systematically analyzed to optimize device performance. The NaZnBr₃ absorber exhibits a suitable bandgap (1.65 eV) and favorable optoelectronic properties, while the incorporation of WS₂ as the electron transport layer (ETL) and NiO as the hole transport layer (HTL) enhances charge extraction and reduces recombination losses. Simulation results show that optimizing absorber thickness (~ 1.5–1.8 μm), doping concentrations, and interface properties leads to a maximum VOC of 1.57 V, JSC of 36.33 mA/cm², FF of 88.38%, and an overall PCE of 26.59%. Furthermore, the effects of series and shunt resistances, temperature variations, and work-function tuning are examined, providing insights into how these factors influence device performance. These findings demonstrate the potential of WS₂/NaZnBr₃/NiO heterostructures as promising candidates for high-efficiency, lead-free perovskite solar cells.
