摘要

Boosting the efficiency of perovskite-based solar cells is vital for their successful large-scale commercialization. In this work, we employ a strategic combination of double absorbing layers along with optimized electron and hole transport layers (ETL and HTL) to significantly boost device performance. A comprehensive first-principles study of CsPbI3 and CsSnI3 shows that they possess direct band gaps of 1.76 eV and 1.26 eV, respectively, along with outstanding absorption coefficients above 105 cm−1 and minimal lattice mismatch, positioning them as excellent candidates for high-efficiency bi-layer solar cell designs. Inspired by these favourable optoelectronic properties, we model a novel device structure: ITO/ZnMgO/CsPbI3/CsSnI3/P3HT/Au. Through rigorous optimization of absorber layer thicknesses, ETL and HTL properties, interface and bulk defect densities, temperature, and resistive parameters, the proposed configuration achieves an impressive efficiency of 29.61%, with a VOC of 1.10 V, JSC of 38.14 mA/cm2, and a fill factor of 79.16%. These results outperform the efficiencies documented in earlier studies on perovskite solar cells and offer valuable insights into the design of next-generation high-efficiency bi-layer photovoltaic devices.
