TI  - Interface Modification by Using an Ultrathin P3HT Layer in a Custom Perovskite Solar Cell Through SCAPS-1D Simulation
AB  - Recently, renewable energy sources such as solar energy have gained much attention forelectricity generation because of their easy access and infinite resources. Solar cells are a goodchoice for this goal. Among the various solar cells that have already been studied, perovskitesolar cells (PSCs) have recently become an interesting issue for researchers due to theirtremendous improvement in system performance and efficiency. This type of solar cell isdivided into several layers, each of which has its role in the structure of the cell. “FrontContact/Electron transporting material/Absorber (perovskite)/Hole transporting layer/BackContact”. The overall structure of these cells has shown a maximum efficiency of about 22%which is good efficiency for solar cells. However, this type of solar cell suffers from stabilityproblems, especially at the junction point between the hole transporting layer (HTM) and theperovskite (absorber) layer, despite its cost-effectiveness advantages. To solve this problem,recent studies have been transferred to a study called interface engineering. In this study, thementioned interfaces are modified by some materials that have regular and stable structuressuch as polymers. Many polymeric modifiers have been studied in recent years. Among them,P3HT (Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)) has provided the best results. In this paper, first, theeffect of different layer properties such as their thickness and charge carrier density wereinvestigated and optimal parameters were obtained for each one using SCAPS-1D (Solar CellCapacitance Simulator) software. Then we simulated the structure of a perovskite solar cellusing a polymeric modifier in its structure. The results showed that by adding an ultrathinpolymeric film as an interface between HTM and perovskite, the performance of the device wasimproved and its efficiency was enhanced. The final efficiency of the device with the optimalparameters was obtained about 26.5%.
