Performance optimization of back-contact perovskite solar cells with quasi-interdigitated electrodes
A numerical simulation method is used to investigate intricacies of a complex relation between the back-contact electrode (BCE) geometric parameters, the perovskite photo-absorber layer electronic properties, and device performance in back-contact perovskite solar cells (BC-PSCs) with quasi-interdigitated electrodes (QIDEs). To unlock the full potential of BC-PSC with QIDEs, the device performance was investigated by systematically varying the geometric parameters of BCE and the perovskite photo-absorber layer electronic parameters in order to determine the conditions for a best device performance. BC-PSC with QIDEs have a potential to produce power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) higher than PSCs with the conventional sandwich architecture if optimized parameters for electrode geometry and perovskite electronic properties are used. The findings of the present work give an insight into the work principle of these devices and provide a theoretical guidance for design and fabrication of high-performance BC-PSC with QIDEs.
