Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Renewable Energy
  • Optoelectronics

Background:

  • Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising for next-generation photovoltaics.
  • Improving light absorption and carrier collection is crucial for enhancing PSC performance.
  • Current PSC designs face challenges with optical losses and charge recombination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate methods for improving light absorption in the active layer of PSCs.
  • To enhance the effective collection of photogenerated carriers within PSCs.
  • To optimize PSC performance through advanced structural designs.

Main Methods:

  • A coupled optical-electrical modeling method was employed for PSC simulation.
  • A planar PSC structure was initially analyzed to identify optical losses.
  • Convex light-trapping nanostructures and a plasmonic reflector were integrated to enhance performance.

Main Results:

  • Convex nanostructures increased power conversion efficiency (PCE) without altering active layer thickness.
  • A plasmonic reflector utilizing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) concentrated the electromagnetic field in the active layer.
  • The optimized PSC structure achieved a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 23.5 mA/cm² (up from 18.63 mA/cm²) and a PCE of 19.54% (up from 14.62%).

Conclusions:

  • Integrated nanostructuring and plasmonic reflectors significantly reduce optical losses in PSCs.
  • The proposed PSC design demonstrates a substantial increase in Jsc and open-circuit voltage (Voc).
  • This study presents an effective strategy for developing high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.
