Аннотация:The research on the solar cell structure based on various inorganic, organic and hybrid type of perovskite absorbing materials is increasing due to their legion features. Various inorganic titanium (Ti) based double perovskite absorbing materials like, Cs2TiCl6, Cs2TiBr6, and Cs2TiI6 are examined. Cs2TiBr6 is chosen to be the most promising absorbing layer material alternative suitable for a stable environmentally friendly solar cell application due to its larger spectrum response and tunable band gap than the other promising absorbing materials. The primary objective of this work aims for investigating the functioning of Cs2TiBr6 with various inorganic charge transport materials under simulated conditions using the simulation software, SCAPS-1D (a Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator), Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator, and its functioning is evaluated by varying the interface defect density, thickness, defect density, etc. of various layer materials of the solar cell device. The basic input parameters, like electron-affinity, thickness, band-gap, charge mobility, permittivity, and defect density, of different layer materials are used in the simulation software to accomplish the modelling of the novel structure of solar cell device. A highly efficient environmentally friendly perovskite solar cell structure is the focus of this numerical research. Analysis results are compared with the existing data for substantiation. Finally, one planar inverted, high performance device structure, Glass/MoO3/Cs2TiBr6/SnO2/Au, is evolved, which is a promising eco-friendly device that can be used for making solar panels without any toxic consequences. The short circuit current density, the open circuit voltage, power conversion efficiency, and the fill-factor of this innovative inverted solar cell structure are observed to be 16.589 mA/cm2, 1.1 V, 15.68 %, and 85.76 %, which are significantly better parameters than those previously reported.
