Herein, we investigate the performance of a solar cell configuration, FTO/TiO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>SnI<sub>3</sub>/CuI/Pd, by device simulation using solar cell capacitance device simulator (SCAPS-1D). The study analyses the impact of temperature, absorber layer thickness and buffer layers on the electrical and optoelectronic outcomes of the model cell. The simulation reveals optimal power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.98%, V<sub>oc</sub> of 0.8762, modest fill factor (FF) of 75.27% and remarkable photocurrent density (J<sub>sc</sub>) of 34.33 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>. The selection of palladium as the preferred metal back contact is supported by its high work function, stability in ambient conditions, affordability compared to gold and low resistivity. CdS, distinguished by its remarkable PCE of 24.04%, emerges as the most promising buffer material for the model cell. Increased temperature from 260 to 500 K did not affect the electrical parameters significantly indicating that the model cell with CuI as the hole transport layer (HTL) has a robust temperature tolerance and hence stable in the design of perovskite cell modules based on CuI. The optimal density of defects for the material was generally found to be 10<sup>15</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup> whereas the optimal density for the acceptor was 10<sup>16</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup>. These findings highlight the feasibility of the model cell design, characterized by use of eco-friendly materials, relatively affordable materials, low toxicity, and impressive PCE, thus inspiring potential fabrication and commercialization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":720,"journal":{"name":"Optical and Quantum Electronics","volume":"56 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guermazi","doi":"10.1007/s11082-024-07234-5","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s11082-024-07234-5","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>We aim to analyze the influence of 5CBLC content on the structural, optical, and dielectric properties of the PVA-PVP blend polymer. The absence of additional peaks in the XRD patterns after doping strengthens the argument for complete dissociation and homogeneous complexation of 5CBLC molecules within the blend polymer matrix. The dopant atoms are no longer arranged in a separate crystalline structure but are uniformly distributed throughout the polymer, leading to no distinct peaks in the XRD pattern. Changes in the wavelengths of maximum absorption indicate changes in the energy required to excite electrons. If the peaks shift towards longer wavelengths (red shift), it suggests a decrease in the energy gap between orbitals, potentially due to increased conjugation caused by 5CBLC. The 0.05 ml of doped PVA-PVP@5CBLC PBFs readily absorbs light at wavelengths below 824 nm. A 5CBLC molecule's energy level may allow it to absorb photons with energies below 824 nm. As 5CBLC scatter and absorb light, there is a decrease in normalizing power with 5CBLC amounts. As the amount of 5CBLC increases, it removes some light from the incident beam through both scattering and absorption. This reduces the amount of light available for further scattering by the particles of interest in the experiment. As both the imaginary and real parts of the impedance decrease, the 5CBLC amounts facilitated a more resistive and less reactive matrix for the PVA-PVP blend. The ESC and EPC significantly decrease with increasing frequency for both the pure PVA-PVP PBF and the PVA-PVP@5CBLC PBFs in various 5CBLC amounts. Results suggest that combining 5CBLC with PVA-PVP creates a material with properties that make it well-suited for applications in optoelectronics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":720,"journal":{"name":"Optical and Quantum Electronics","volume":"56 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
