Abstract:
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted significant interest of scientists as well as industrialist
as the latest generation of solar cells due to their sky rocketing performances. In this study, the
effect of Halide Ions of perovskite on PSCs performances were studied using solar cell capacitance
simulator (SCAPS). Perovskite solar cells with MAPbI3 and PSCs with MAPbBr3 as the lightabsorbing
materials have been simulated and compared the effect of the halide ion on solar cell
performances. The efficiency of MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3 were reached 16.8% and 5.1%
respectively. Also, the thickness of each MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3 was varied from 0.1 μm to 1.2
μm and the best results were observed at 0.5 μm and 0.4 μm thickness of MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3
films, respectively. A considerable effect of halide ions on PSC performances has been observed
and it can be attributed to the variation of light absorption with the halide ions.
