Lead-halide perovskite-based solar cells have attracted attention in the energy field due to their enhanced performance and simplicity in manufacturing. However, the toxicity of lead has led to an interest in exploring lead-free alternatives. This research investigated the use of a lead-free perovskite material and tested the impact of thickness and defect density on the efficiency of the solar cells.
Due to their enhanced performance and simplicity in manufacturing, scalability, and versatility, lead-halide perovskite-based solar cells (HPSCs) have received much attention in the domains of energy. Lead is present in nature as a poisonous substance that causes various issues to climate and human health and prevents its further industrialization. Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable interest in exploring some alternative lead-free perovskites. However, owing to some intrinsic losses, the performance that may be achieved from these photovoltaics is not up to standards. Thus, for the purpose of efficiency improvement, a comprehensive simulation is required to comprehend the cause of these losses. In the current research, an investigation into how to employ the promisingly efficient lead-free, all inorganic cesium tin-germanium iodide (CsSnGeI3) perovskites as the photoactive layer in HPSCs was performed. Results exhibited a high efficiency of 12.95% with a CsSn0.5Ge0.5I3 perovskite thickness of 0.6 mu m and a band gap of 1.5 eV at room temperature. High efficiency may be achieved using phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as an electron transport material because of its favorable energy-level alignment with the perovskite material. The research further tested the perovskite layer thickness and defect density in depth. The results showed that the carrier diffusion lengths have a big effect on how well the HPSC works.
