Numerical analysis of one-dimensional perovskite solar cell using drift diffusion equations

Solar energy, one of the renewable energies with infinite sources all over the world apart from wind, biomass, water, and geothermal, is gaining much attention from researchers since the invention of wafer-based technology (using silicon), thin film technologies using Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Co...

description Solar energy, one of the renewable energies with infinite sources all over the world apart from wind, biomass, water, and geothermal, is gaining much attention from researchers since the invention of wafer-based technology (using silicon), thin film technologies using Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS), and emerging film technologies, including perovskites solar cells. The perovskites solar cell (PSC) has been proven to possess a high-efficiency achievement. However, the instability issue in its moisture, light and temperature leads to current-voltage hysteresis, which always becomes a major concern for the perovskite solar cell under operational conditions. The situation is caused by the diffusion of mechanisms of charge transport and charge release at the interface between layers by the migration mechanism, which dominates the global electrical field. Another challenge in modelling the solar cell is to account for the dynamic physics behaviour, which requires a comprehensive model to relate all the dynamic mechanisms that can give information and insight into the perovskite solar cell. Hence, this study is carried out to identify the one-dimensional drift-diffusion equation of the n-i-p perovskite solar cell that accounts for the dynamic process of the solar cell mechanism, to solve the equation of the perovskite solar cell numerically and develop the current density against voltage (J-V) curve using the folding method, as well as to analyse the performance of perovskite solar cells.
