Numerical simulation of Cs2AgBiBr6-based perovskite solar cell with ZnO nanorod and P3HT as the charge transport layers

We carried out simulative investigations on a non-toxic, lead-free perovskite solar cell (PSC), where Cs2AgBiBr6, P3HT, ZnO nanorod, and C were utilized as the absorber layer, hole transport layer, electron transport layer, and back contact, respectively. At 600 nm optimum absorber thickness, the device achieved a maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.48%. The PSC operated optimally when the electron affinities were set at 3.3 eV and 4.6 eV for P3HT and ZnO nanorod, respectively. Moreover, the hole mobility and acceptor concentration of P3HT should be weighed during the choosing of appropriate doping additives and doping levels. Besides, the optimum back contact work function and absorber defect density were found to be 5.2 eV and 10 cm, respectively. We also observed…
