Abstract

Using perovskite compounds such as "methyl ammonium lead halide (MAPbX3, MA= CH3NH3, X=I, Br, Cl)" and SCAPS tools, researchers conducted a thorough modelling and numerical simulation of perovskite solar cells. They also measured metrics such as "open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (PCE), and short-circuit current density (Jsc) of the MAPbI3, MAPbBr3, and MAPbCl3 material used as active layer, respectively." As the hole transport layer (HTL) in the modelled structure of the perovskite solar cell, the copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) material is important. The features structural parameters for CH3NH3PbI3 like a fill factor (FF) of 89.56, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 30.83 %, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.299V, and a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 26.50 mAcm-2, for CH3NH3PbBr3 such is an 84.34 fill factor (FF), efficiency of power conversion (PCE) of 11.05 %, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 15.12V, and a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 1.050 mAcm-2 and for CH3NH3PbCl3 like a fill factor (FF) of 83.67, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.36 %, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.35 V, and a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 1.055 mAcm-2 according to the findings of the simulation.
