Research in solar cells is needed to maximize Indonesia’s vast solar potential that can reach up to 207.898 MW with an average radiation of 4.8 kWh/m2/day. Organometallic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained immense attention due to their rapid increase in efficiency and compatibility with low-cost fabrication methods. Understanding the role of hole transport layer is very important to obtain highly efficient PSCs. In this work, we studied the effect of Hole Transport Layer (HTL) to the performance of perovskite solar cell. The devices with HTL exhibit substantial increase in power conversion efficiency, open circuit voltage and short circuit current compared to the device without HTL. The best performing device is PSC with CuSCN as HTL layer, namely Voc of 0.24, Isc of 1.79 mA, 0.27 FF and efficiency of 0.09%.

Conjugated polymer FBT-Th4 and evaporation deposited CuxO integrated hole transporting materials have been fabricated for efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.


The researchers now days are avid of solar cells despite the efficiency issues. As lead-based halide perovskite exhibit toxic nature alternatives for the anti- toxic perovskite solar cells(PSCs) are gaining much research. Bis(sulfanylidene )tungsten is a toxic free feasible emerging option with direct band gap of value 1.8 eV. Tungsten disulfide is other chemical name of Bis(sulfanylidene)tungsten. In this paper, perovskite solar cell (PSC) with Bis(sulfanylidene)tungsten (WS2 ) as electron transport layer and spiro-OMeTAD as hole transport layer is modelled and simulated using SCAPS software to analyze performance parameters. The device simulations results are compared for comprehensive defect study of WS2 as ETL. With integration of WS2 and spiro-OMeTAD in the perovskite design, the outcomes are proficient enough with 25.96% of PCE, 22.06 mA/cm2 Jsc, 1.280V Voc and 91.76% FF. Launching the batch setup for absorber layer thickness further resulted with competent PCE 27.78%. The outcomes signified that the toxic-free WS2 based PSC can be a prominent upcoming perspective in terms of environmentally pristine nature and capitulate comparative high efficiency

AbstractIn this study, p-Phenylenediaminium iodide (PDAI) is used to in-situ growth of 2D (PDA)2PbI4 perovskite layer between (FAPbI3)0.85(MAPbBr3)0.15 3D perovskite and CuSCN as a cheap hole transport layer. The results indicate that the incorporation of 5 mg mL−1 PDAI leads to enlarged grain sizes, compact grain boundaries, reduced trap density, efficient charge extraction, and enhanced stability of perovskite film. Passivation of perovskite film with the appropriate amount of PDAI helps in achieving efficient perovskite solar cell with a PCE as high as 16.10%, a JSC of 21.45 mA cm−2, a VOC of 1.09 V, and FF of 70.21%, with negligible hysteresis and excellent moisture stability which remains 99.01% of its initial PCE value after 5 h in high relative humidity of 90 ± 5% and shows unchanged PCE after 1440 h in low relative humidity of 15 ± 5%. Most strikingly, this ultra-thin 2D passivation layer by the use of PDA cations as a bulky spacer not only passivates the defects on the surface of perovskite film but also induces self-healing properties in PSCs which can be rapidly recovered after keeping away from water vapor exposure. This study introduces the cheap and extra stable perovskite solar cells with outstanding self-healing ability towards commercialization.
