Investigation of the effect of polymeric and non-polymeric materials in the hole transfer layer on the performance of perovskite solar cell

Abstract

In recent decades, due to advances in various industries, the use of renewable energy sources has increased significantly. Solar cells are one of the important tools in the use of renewable energies. Between the different types of solar cells, recently, perovskite solar cells, because of some advantages like low costs of materials used in their fabrication, simple manufacturing process, and high conversion efficiency, have gained the attention of many researchers. Emerging technology and recent research activities have helped perovskite solar cells to achieve high efficiency, which is highly dependent on the components and structures of the solar cell system. One way to achieve high efficiency is to use polymeric and non-polymeric materials as electron transporters (ETMs), hole transporters (HTMs), or as a stimulus to increase the performance durability of perovskite solar cells. Simulation tool is a very effective tool for designing solar cells. In this study, by using COMSOL Multiphysics software, the effect of using different hole transfer layers, both polymeric and non-polymeric, has been investigated. For this purpose, three HTM layers (Spiro-OMETAD, CuSCN, P3HT) have been investigated. The results represented that the efficiencies for these three materials were (16.8%, 15.7%, 12%), respectively, and Spiro-OMETAD has been more efficient.
