Lead-free double Perovskite materials are currently attracting considerable research interest owing to their environmentally friendly attributes. In this investigation, we have analyzed a tremendous double Perovskite material EuNiMnO (ENMO) as the absorber layer of a solar cell with the help of SCAPS-1D (a solar cell capacitance simulator). The material has become remarkable because of its narrow experimental band gap of 1.01 eV. Throughout the study, we investigated the effect of appropriate ETLs (Electron Transport Layers) and HTLs (Hole Transport Layers) with the absorber layer. For optimizing the device, tungsten disulfide (WS), C (Buckminsterfullerene), and PCBM (Phenyl-C-butyric acid methyl ester) are used as ETLs, and Copper Ferrite Tin Sulfide (CFTS) is used as the HTL. Besides evaluating the effects of ETL and HTL, other important factors like absorber thickness, shunt and series resistance, temperature, capacitance, Mott-Schottky characteristics, recombination and generation rates, current density-voltage (-), and quantum efficiency are also analyzed. The simulation demonstrates that the optimal output parameters ( , , FF, and PCE) for the WS ETL based device are 0.720 V, 45.287 mA cm, 81.02%, and 26.45%. It is the most detailed investigation with the highest reported efficiency, significantly higher than previous research work. Using this extensive simulation study, researchers will be able to create Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) that are both affordable and effective while also expanding the possibilities for solar technology.
无铅双钙钛矿材料因其环保特性目前正吸引着大量的研究兴趣。在本研究中，我们借助SCAPS - 1D（一种太阳能电池电容模拟器）分析了一种出色的双钙钛矿材料EuNiMnO（ENMO）作为太阳能电池的吸收层。该材料因其1.01 eV的窄实验带隙而备受瞩目。在整个研究过程中，我们研究了合适的电子传输层（ETL）和空穴传输层（HTL）与吸收层的作用。为了优化器件，二硫化钨（WS）、C（巴克敏斯特富勒烯）和PCBM（苯基 - C - 丁酸甲酯）被用作电子传输层，铁酸铜锡硫化物（CFTS）被用作空穴传输层。除了评估电子传输层和空穴传输层的影响外，还分析了其他重要因素，如吸收层厚度、并联和串联电阻、温度、电容、莫特 - 肖特基特性、复合和产生率、电流密度 - 电压（-）以及量子效率。模拟结果表明，基于WS电子传输层的器件的最佳输出参数（开路电压、短路电流密度、填充因子和光电转换效率）分别为0.720 V、45.287 mA/cm²、81.02%和26.45%。这是最详细的研究，报道的效率最高，显著高于先前的研究工作。通过这项广泛的模拟研究，研究人员将能够制造出既经济又高效的钙钛矿太阳能电池（PSC），同时还能拓展太阳能技术的可能性。
