Abstract
Cs2SnI6 is an environmentally friendly and reliable perovskite solar cell (PSCs) material. Its optimal band gap and strong light absorption make it a promising candidate for the absorption layer. However, the current challenge is to improve its photoelectric conversion efficiency. To address this, this study investigates the performance of PSCs based on Cs2SnI6 using SCAPS-1D simulation. The influence of various factors on PSC performance is examined, including different hole transport layers(HTLs) and electron transport layers(ETLs), perovskite layer thickness, ETL doping density, HTL doping density, absorber doping density, perovskite layer defect density, different back contacts and temperature. Finally, a Cs2SnI6-based solar device with an inorganic configuration of FTO/NiO/Cs2SnI6/SnO2/Au has been developed, reaching the power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 28.69 %. The study demonstrates that Cs2SnI6 PSCs exhibit promising photovoltaic performance, offering valuable insights for the solar energy sector in the production of cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly Cs-based perovskite solar cells.
