Abstract

The photovoltaic societies are much focused and have awaited the development of the next generation of different Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) because of their strong prospect of supporting low-cost solar cells. This present research work emphasizes lead material MAPbI3 as well as lead-free materials as MASnI3 and MAGeI3 perovskite solar cells using TiO2 (Titanium dioxide) as well as ZnO (Zinc oxide) as Electron Transport Material and CuSbS2 (Copper antimony sulphide) as the Hole Transport Material. It has been observed that MAPbI3 gives better performance with an efficiency of 27.51% with TiO2 as Electron Transport Layer while MAGeI3 has the lowest performance of 23.25%. Furthermore, MASnI3 has shown an improved result with 26.3% efficiency when ZnO is taken as Electron Transport Layer. Additionally, the performance of the various evaluated variables is almost identical to that of the perovskites under study..
