Improved optical properties of perovskite solar cells by introducing Ag nanopartices and ITO AR layers.

ABSTRACT: Embedded noble metal nanostructures and surface anti-reflection (AR) layers affect the optical properties of methylammonium lead iodide (CH₃NH₃PbI₃) perovskite solar cells significantly. Herein, by employing a combined finite element method and genetic algorithm approach, we report five different types of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite solar cells by introducing embedded Ag nanoparticles within the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ layer and/or top ITO cylinder grating as an AR layer. The maximum photocurrent was optimized to reach 23.56 mA/cm², which was 1.09/1.17 times higher than Tran's report/ flat cases. It is also comparable with values (23.6 mA/cm²) reported in the literature. The calculations o
