Abstract

Abstract: Perovskite materials are considered the mainstay of PV manufacturing as outstanding to notable optoelectronic properties. In this work the act of Pb-free FASnI3 based PSC, TiO2 as ETL, and Cu2 O as HTL and Ag, Au, and Pt, are the different metal contact simulated using SCAPS software. Here, we focused on the impact parameters of the device such as the thickness of the Ab-Layer, the doping level of the perovskite layer, and different working temperatures. Additionally, we investigated the effect of different metal contact and their work function. The simulated results show a perovskite layer thickness of 350 nm for good perovskite solar cells. For optimizing parameters, efficiency 18.10%, FF 78.14%, Jsc 29. 61 mA/cm 2, and Voc 0.7821V have been achieved for Cu2 O and TiO2 respectively. The thermal study shows that device configurations for this present work are at 300 K . It is stable for this entire work.
