Abstract
Controlling the photon regeneration effects in FAPbI3 films is a noteworthy approach to improve the photovoltaic (PV) efficiency of FAPbI3-based solar cells. However, the lack of systematic study on the relationship between photon regeneration effects and PV efficiency in the experimental process makes it difficult to control the photon regeneration effects effectively. In this work, we combine the Monte Carlo sampling method and the polar coordinate calculation method to design a new algorithm for a detailed simulation of the main processes of photon regeneration effects affecting the PV efficiency in a model based on an n–i–p type FAPbI3 perovskite solar cell (PSC). The algorithm is validated to be used to compare the power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of different PSCs to filter out the PSC structure with the highest PCE or to determine the range of material parameter values corresponding to the highest PCE. This work opens up new ideas to effectively control the photon regeneration effects in PSCs to improve the device PV efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
