Abstract Research of lead-free perovskite based solar cells has gained speedy and growing attention with urgent intent to eliminate toxic lead in perovskite materials. The main purpose of this work is to supplement the research progress with comparative­­ analysis of different lead-free perovskite based solar cells by numerical simulation method using solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) software. In this work, the device simulation is carried out in the n-i-p configuration of FTO/[6,6]-Phenyl-C61-butyric acidmethyl ester (PCBM) /Perovskite layer/ Poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine(PTAA)/Au using six different lead-free perovskite materials. The impact of different perovskite materials layers including hole and electron transport layer thickness, doping concentration on solar cell performances has thoroughly been investigated and optimized. CsSnI3 based perovskite solar cell shows the highest power conversion efficiency of 28.97 % among all the lead-free perovskite based devices. This clearly indicates that it’s possible to achieve high-performance lead-free perovskite solar cells experimentally at par with lead based perovskite solar cells in future research.

AbstractPerovskite solar cells (PSCs) emerging as a promising photovoltaic technology with high efficiency and low manufacturing cost have attracted the attention from all over the world. Both the efficiency and stability of PSCs have increased steadily in recent years, and the research on reducing lead leakage and developing eco-friendly lead-free perovskites pushes forward the commercialization of PSCs step by step. This review summarizes the main progress of PSCs in 2020 and 2021 from the aspects of efficiency, stability, perovskite-based tandem devices, and lead-free PSCs. Moreover, a brief discussion on the development of PSC modules and its challenges toward practical application is provided.

We report a facile BiBr3(DMSO)2 adduct process to produce high-quality Cs2AgBiBr6 films with large grains for the first time, which leads to an enhancement of over 40% on the PCE of Cs2AgBiBr6-based solar cells compared to that of the control sample.
