Abstract
Photovoltaics (PV) having perovskite material have an enormous influence on the progress in solar cell technology. Excluding the high efficiency, stability, and flexibility, the extended impact has now been given on utilizing lead-free environmentally suitable, and much cheaper materials for the PSC fabrication. The material with a volatile free, that is, cesium tin iodide (CsSnI3), is capable for the fabrication of the Perovskite Solar Cell that creates eco-friendly as well as enhanced optical-electronic features for the low bandgap, that is 1.27eV. Sn could increase the steadiness of the lead-free perovskite. However, as widely known, Sn2+ always suffers from oxidation with I2 and O2 and induces instability issues. In the ongoing work, cesium tin iodide, is employed as the primary absorber, in so much the root-extracted naturally manufactured ZnO is used as ETM for less cost in production. Correspondingly, Spiro-OMeTAD is used as HTM for enhancement in hole collection in the device. The inclusive numerical simulation with the bio-synthesized ZnO-NP can be applied in designing the solar cell having an applicable thickness of CsSnI3, suitable temperature, total defect density, and the influence of the resistance, respectively. The current simulation of PSC offers the extraordinary power conversion efficiency (η) of 26.40 % considering CsSnI3 as the absorber. The results described in this investigation may confirm an effective approach to design and the expansion of the lead-free PSC.
期刊介绍：
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions.
The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
