研究目的
To investigate the influence of the TiO2 layer on the ultimate efficiencies for the planar and nano-textured CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskite solar cells (SCs) and to determine the optimal TiO2 layer thickness for maximizing power conversion efficiency (PCE).
研究成果
The TiO2 layer in perovskite SCs not only functions as an electron transporting material but also acts as an anti-reflection layer, significantly influencing the ultimate efficiency. The optimal TiO2 layer thickness for maximizing efficiency in planar SCs is found to be 80 nm when the MAPbI3 layer is 250 nm thick. Nano-texturing the SC surface, especially with CLH textures on both TiO2 and MAPbI3 layers, can further enhance the PCE by approximately 5% compared to non-textured or partially textured SCs.
研究不足
The study focuses on the optical properties and light absorption of the SCs without considering carrier recombination, which may affect the practical PCE. Additionally, the simulations are based on idealized conditions that may not fully replicate real-world manufacturing variations.
