摘要

This study examines optical cavity optimization in MAPbI3 perovskite solar cells using one-dimensional photonic-crystal reflectors. Baseline, front-DBR and back-DBR configurations were analysed over 400-850 nm with a numerically stable scattering-matrix formulation based on the Redheffer star product. Absorber-specific perovskite absorptance, angular response up to 70°, field distributions and generation profiles were evaluated so that useful absorption inside MAPbI3 could be separated from total stack absorption. In the idealized optical-stack model, the back DBR increased Jsc from 19.30 to 20.78 mA cm−2, whereas the front DBR reduced Jsc to 12.12 mA cm−2 because of entrance-side reflection losses. A more realistic integrated cavity, Air / ITO / SnO2 / MAPbI3 / NiOx / DBR / Ag / Glass, was then optimized over DBR period number, design wavelength, perovskite thickness, NiOx thickness and rear-metal thickness. The optimized practical design, Air / ITO(150 nm) / SnO2(40 nm) / MAPbI3(800 nm) / NiOx(1 nm) / [TiO2(50 nm) / SiO2(85 nm)]x8 / Ag(60 nm) / Glass, increased the directly simulated optical current from 22.36 to 22.86 mA cm−2. The results show that rear photonic-crystal reflectors can improve long-wavelength harvesting, but in realistic PSCs the gain arises from full-cavity tuning rather than from a standalone quarter-wave DBR design. The DBR material pair was intentionally fixed to the literature TiO2 / SiO2 system so that reflector placement and cavity tuning could be isolated clearly.
