High Efficiency and Thermal Stability A Downright Response to the Commercialization of Perovskite Solar Cells

Organo metal halide perovskites represent a new paradigm for photovoltaics, possessing the propensity to overcome the performance limits of present technologies and achieve low cost and high efficiency and appreciable stability. Recently, efficiencies in excess of 22 has been recorded, but very little is known about their operational characteristics under thermal stress. This paper summarizes the research that focused on the achievements made in the field of perovskite photovoltaics, as well as the principal hurdles to the commercialization of perovskites. In this work, numerical modeling of the planar N I P architectural structure Glass SnO2 F TiO2 CH3NH3PbI3 Spiro OMeTAD Au of the Methylammonium Lead Iodide Perovskite Solar Cell was performed for the efficiency improvement of the solar cell. A promising result was achieved with Power Conversion Efficiency PCE of 29.31 , Fill Factor FF 82.63 , short circuit current density JSC 23.55 mA cm2 and open circuit voltage VOC 1.51 V. Simulation of the modeled perovskite solar cell was executed using Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator SCAPS 1D . At higher temperatures, the solar cell's carrier concentration, band gaps, electron and hole mobilities were affected, thus the lower power conversion efficiency. In contrast to the nominal trend where recoded models have their best efficiencies at temperature measured in Kelvin, K 300K before consistently decreasing, it was observed that the Power Conversion Efficiency of this model appreciated above 300K hitting a peak efficiency of 29.3445 at 325K, maintained a high efficiency through 355K. The results presented will give a valuable guideline for the feasible fabrication and designing of thermally stable and high power conversion efficiency perovskite solar cells.
