Abstract

In the quest for sustainable energy, perovskite solar cells have emerged as promising candidates due to their high power conversion efficiencies and excellent optoelectronic properties. This study focuses on SrZrS₃, a lead-free chalcogenide perovskite, and its integration with various inorganic transport layers for enhanced photovoltaic performance. Using SCAPS-1D simulation software, the effects of different electron transport layers (ETLs) and hole transport layers (HTLs) on device efficiency were systematically explored. The device with a-Si:H as the HTL and ZnS as the ETL (aSi-3) shows the highest efficiency of 20.01 % resulting from better energy band alignment and reduced recombination losses. This study highlights the importance of optimizing transport layers for enhancing SrZrS₃-based solar cells, offering insights for developing high-performance, lead-free perovskite solar cells.

增强 SrZrS3 包晶太阳能电池：无机传输层的 SCAPS-1D 综合分析

在寻求可持续能源的过程中，透镜太阳能电池因其高功率转换效率和优异的光电特性而成为前景广阔的候选材料。本研究的重点是 SrZrS3（一种无铅瑀包晶）及其与各种无机传输层的整合，以提高光伏性能。利用 SCAPS-1D 模拟软件，系统地探讨了不同电子传输层（ETL）和空穴传输层（HTL）对器件效率的影响。以 a-Si:H 为 HTL、ZnS 为 ETL（aSi-3）的器件效率最高，达到 20.01%，这得益于更好的能带排列和更低的重组损耗。这项研究强调了优化传输层对提高基于 SrZrS3 的太阳能电池的重要性，为开发高性能、无铅的过氧化物太阳能电池提供了启示。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems. Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal: Low-dimensional systems Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases Energy conversion and storage Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
