Performance Analysis of Cu2O in Perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) Solar Cell Using Different Absorption Coefficients

Abstract

Solar cells are a fortunate technology that will be crucial for future “renewable energy sources” without devouring any undesirable effects on the atmosphere or human society. In this paper, numerical simulation and detailed modeling on perovskite solar cell were carried out using perovskite material such as methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃, MA= CH₃NH₃) at various absorption coefficients using the SCAPS tool. Renewable energy is an endless supply of energy that is cost-free, simple to use, and free of CO₂ emissions and other negative effects. The impact of the “absorption coefficient” with cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) as an HTL in perovskite solar cell CH₃NH₃PbI₃ is explored. The model of a perovskite solar cell (PSC) through various absorption coefficients of 10⁵, 10⁶, 10⁷, 10⁸, and 10⁹. In the cell, the top layer serves as a glass substrate and is made of transport conducting oxide (TCO). Titanium dioxide (TiO₂), another name for titanium oxide, serves as an electron transport layer.
