Numerical Simulation of NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₃MnCl₄ Based Pb-Free Perovskite Solar Cells Via SCAPS-1D.

ABSTRACT: Recently, the design and fabrication of lead (Pb)-free perovskite or perovskite-like materials have received great interest for the development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Manganese (Mn) is a less toxic element, which may be an alternative to Pb. In this work, we explored the role of NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₃MnCl₄ perovskite as a light absorber layer via SCAPS-1D. A Pb-free PSC device (FTO/TiO₂/NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₃MnCl₄/spiro-OMeTAD/Au) was simulated via SCAPS-1D software. The simulated Pb-free PSCs (FTO/TiO₂/NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₃MnCl₄/spiro-OMeTAD/Au) showed decent power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.19%. Further, the impact
