Numerical optimization of CsPbIxBr3−x-based perovskite photovoltaic solar cells performance using PTAA and C60/SnO2 charge transport layers
摘要
In this study, an ITO/PTAA/CsPbIxBr3−x/C60/SnO2/Au structure was investigated to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells using the Silvaco Atlas simulator. The device featured CsPbIxBr3−x as the absorber, PTAA as the hole transport layer (HTL), and a C60/SnO2 bilayer as the electron transport layer (ETL). We optimized the thickness of each layer and analyzed the effect of absorber defect density on performance. The optimal configuration included a 100 nm PTAA layer, 25 nm each for C60 and SnO2, and a 250 nm perovskite layer with a defect density of ~ 1014 cm⁻3. Under these conditions, the maximum PCE reached 21.80%. Simulations further showed that increasing the doping concentrations of the C60 and SnO2 layers, individually or together, significantly enhances device efficiency, achieving PCE above 25% in photovoltaic applications. These results provide key guidance for optimizing perovskite solar cells with inorganic charge transport layers.
