Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are hot topics in the energy community due to their high absorption capacity, simple fabrication process, and low production costs. However, to enhance the optoelectronic performance of photonic devices, it is essential to advance high-quality photon management and superior optical design. This study utilizes optical metasurfaces to modulate light focusing and enhance light absorption. Single-hemispherical and double-hemispherical metasurfaces are added to planar conventional PSCs to improve the absorption of the device respectively, thus enhancing photovoltaic conversion efficiency. The integrated irradiance of perovskite is calculated for evaluating the light absorption capacity of the cells, and three-dimensional optical and semiconductor finite element method simulations are conducted to optimize structural parameters. Ultimately, compared with the PSC planar, the short-circuit current density is increased by 20.5 %, and the power conversion efficiency is improved by 22 % for the PSC integrated with the double-hemispherical metasurface. This proposed design exhibits certain angular stability and polarization insensitivity, making it widely applicable in the photovoltaic industry and providing crucial support for the further advancement of photovoltaic technology.
