Abstract

Perovskites are increasingly proved to be a promising candidate for making absorber materials for high-efficiency and low-cost next-generation solar cells. There are several models proposed for perovskite solar cells similar to the conventional solar cells; their operation also has specific characteristics and requires the development of a more general physical model to study, thus optimizing the cells and improving the performance of the panels. This paper develops such a physics-based intuitive model to consider the performance of two high-efficiency types of perovskite solar cells, taking into account heterogeneous properties, with filtered transport layers, recombination, charge selection, and voltage-dependent collector. This model would allow experimentally to estimate critical parameters of perovskite solar cells, understand the performance bottleneck, and predict the performance of perovskite solar cells and suggest further study for perovskite solar cell technology development.
