Computational Study of Ternary Devices: Stable, Low-Cost, and Efficient Planar Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Although perovskite solar cells with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) more than 22% have been realized with expensive organic charge-transporting materials, their stability and high cost remain to be addressed. In this work, the perovskite configuration of MAPbX (MA = CH₃NH₃, X = I₃, Br₃, or I₂Br) integrated with stable and low-cost Cu:NiO _x hole-transporting material, ZnO electron-transporting material, and Al counter electrode was modeled as a planar PSC and studied theoretically. A solar cell simulation program (wxAMPS), which served as an update of the popular solar cell simulation tool (AMPS: Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures), was used. The study yielded a detailed understanding of the role
