Abstract
All-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs), especially all bromide CsPbBr3, are attracting tremendous attention recently. However, currently there is a large efficiency gap between the experimentally reported power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and theoretical PCE of CsPbBr3 PSCs. To shed light on further optimizing the PCEs of CsPbBr3 PSCs, device simulation using SCAPS-1D is carried out in this study. Hole transport layer free CsPbBr3 PSCs with a single n-type or p-type CsPbBr3 film are firstly studied and compared with those results from experiments. Then CsPbBr3 homojunction solar cells using both n-type and p-type CsPbBr3 films are further constructed. The influence of p-type CsPbBr3 film thickness and doping concentration on the performances of the corresponding CsPbBr3 PSCs are analyzed and discussed in detail. Finally, a champion PCE of 13.87 % could be obtained in FTO/TiO2/n-type CsPbBr3 (700 nm)/p-type CsPbBr3 (100 nm)/carbon device when the p-type CsPbBr3 film is doped at a concentration of 1 × 1018 cm−3.
