Abstract

In the present work, the simulation of a perovskite solar cell with the composition FTO/SnO2/MAPbI3−xClx/PTAA/Au is performed using SCAPS-1D software. Initially, the absorber thickness, doping concentration of the absorber, charge transport layer, doping gradient and intensity are optimised to enhance the efficiency of the cell. After all optimisation, power conversion efficiency of 34.95% overall is obtained. This enhancement of solar device performance is due to proper band alignment and improved electric field. Both factors result in proper carrier transportation and reduced recombination. The simulated results are also compared with experimental results, and are in good agreement. In addition, the J–V and QE curves are compared. The outcomes of our simulations offer a method that is appropriate for cell production.
