Optimization of Hole and Electron Transport Layer for Highly Efficient Lead-Free Cs2TiBr6-Based Perovskite Solar Cell

Syed Abdul Moiz

Summary: The methylammonium lead halide solar cell has gained attention due to its lightweight, low cost, and simple fabrication. However, its commercialization is hindered by the toxicity of lead. Cs2TiBr6 has been considered as a lead-free alternative, but it lacks matched hole and electron transport layers, resulting in lower power conversion efficiency. This study determined the ideal parameters for the hole and electron transport layers in Cs2TiBr6-based solar cells through simulation. The highest power conversion efficiency of 20.4% was achieved with optimized parameters. However, no suitable materials were found with the required electronic structure. Therefore, polymer NPB and CeOx were selected as hole and electron transport layers, resulting in a maximum power conversion efficiency of approximately 17.94%.

Comparative Study of Recombination Dynamics in Optimized Composition of Sn- Versus Pb-Based Perovskite Solar Cells

Summary: The energy band gaps of Pb halide perovskites are higher than the required band gap for solar cells, but Sn-based perovskites with lower band gaps have shown contradictory results in terms of charge carrier recombination. Despite lower open-circuit voltage, the slow relaxation lifetime of charge carriers in Sn-based perovskites can be attributed to recombination through defect states. Furthermore, the rate law of charge carrier decay has nonlinear dependence on n in Sn-based perovskites, indicating a unique behavior compared to other cases.
