Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Physics
  • Renewable Energy

Background:

  • Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer high efficiency but often contain lead, raising environmental concerns.
  • Developing stable, efficient, and lead-free alternatives is crucial for sustainable solar energy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of Barium Tin Sulfide (BaSnS3) as a lead-free absorber material for PSCs.
  • To evaluate its structural, electronic, optical, and photovoltaic properties using theoretical methods.

Main Methods:

  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) with HSE06 hybrid functional for material property calculations.
  • SCAPS-1D device simulations to assess photovoltaic performance with various electron transport layers (ETLs).

Main Results:

  • BaSnS3 exhibits dynamic stability and an indirect bandgap of 1.535 eV, suitable for solar absorption.
  • High absorption coefficient (>10^5 cm^-1) and favorable dielectric constant (8.55) confirmed.
  • Simulations predict a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.93% for an ITO/ZnS/BaSnS3/Pt device.

Conclusions:

  • BaSnS3 is a promising lead-free material for high-efficiency PSCs.
  • Optimizing absorber thickness and minimizing defects are key for enhanced performance.
  • Further experimental validation is recommended for device engineering.
