Investigation of Effect of Operating Temperature Variation over Performance of Lead Based Perovskite Solar Cell using SCAPS-1D

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become an incredible progress over last decade in the solar energy device area due to high efficiency and low cost photovoltaic technology. PSCs have exhibited their great improvement in performance within a decade with increment in power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 3.2 % to 25.2%. The widely used absorber material in PSCs is methyl ammonium lead trihalide (MAPbX3 where X=Cl, Br, I). Numerical simulation is a fundamental technique in deeply understanding the operational mechanisms of solar cells and structure optimization for different devices. In this paper device modeling for perovskite solar cell based on MAPbI3 has been optimized and report the effect of operating temperature variation (300 -400 K) on performance parameters ,capacitance voltage plot, Mott Schottky plot and different illumination level in open circuit voltage of MAPbI3 based solar cell . The SCAPS 1D (Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator) has been tool used for numerical simulation of these device.
