Evaluating the influence of novel charge transport materials on the photovoltaic properties of MASnI₃ solar cells through SCAPS-1D modelling.

ABSTRACT: In recent decades, substantial advancements have been made in photovoltaic technologies, leading to impressive power conversion efficiencies (PCE) exceeding 25% in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Tin-based perovskite materials, characterized by their low band gap (1.3 eV), exceptional optical absorption and high carrier mobility, have emerged as promising absorber layers in PSCs. Achieving high performance and stability in PSCs critically depends on the careful selection of suitable charge transport layers (CTLs). This research investigates the effects of five copper-based hole transport materials and two carbon-based electron transport materials in combination with methyl ammonium tin iodide (MASnI₃) through numerical modelling in SCAPS-1D. The carbon-based CTLs exhibit excellen
