Investigation of bandgaps and thicknesses of sub-cells on the performance of lead-free CsSnX3/Si tandem solar cells via SCAPS-1D
In this study, the influence of bandgap and thickness of sub-cells on lead-free perovskite CsSnX3/Si tandem solar cells was systematically investigated using the SCAPS-1D software. A highly efficient tandem solar cell was successfully developed utilizing lead-free perovskite materials. The bandgap is modulated through the gradient regulation of the proportion of X-site elements in CsSnX3. Meanwhile, the effects of bandgap, defect density and electron/hole thermal velocity on cell performance were analyzed. The top sub-cell was FTO/CuI/CsSnX3/ZnOS cell, while the bottom sub-cell was structured a-Si(p+)/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si/a-Si:H(i)/a-Si(n+) cell. The tandem solar cell achieves champion efficiency of 33.03% when configured with a top sub-cell that is 217 nm thick (bandgap = 1.78 eV) and a bottom sub-cell that is 250 μm thick. This study offers significant theoretical guidance and practical insights for the development of highly efficient lead-free perovskite tandem solar cells in terms of current matching, defect density selection and electron/hole thermal velocity control.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
