研究目的
To design solar cells with oxychalcogenide perovskite absorbers using a multiscale approach combining atomistic calculations and macroscale device simulations and optimization to maximize power conversion efficiency.
研究成果
The multiscale simulation framework enables the extraction of optimal PCEs and device properties for novel materials. The NaNbO2Se perovskite device stands out as the best performing solar cell among the simulated systems with an expected maximum efficiency of 28.8%. This workflow shall open the opportunities for a quick start in the fabrication of solar cells based on OChPs and shall accelerate the lab realization and device fabrication enabling to save both time and cost.
研究不足
The model assumes that the crystal is perfect and charge transfer occurs ideally. Losses in PCE could result from several factors such as microscopic or macroscopic defects introduced within the absorber layer that affect the bandgap by introducing defect levels.
