Theoretical Analysis of All‐Inorganic Wide Bandgap Perovskite/Sn‐Based Narrow Bandgap Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

Abstract

Compared with the single‐junction perovskite solar cells, the perovskite/perovskite tandem solar cells have the advantages of lower cost and higher power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, both two‐terminal (2‐T) and four‐terminal (4‐T) perovskite/perovskite tandem solar cells with all‐inorganic perovskite as the top cell absorption layer and narrow bandgap perovskite MASn0.5Pb0.5I3 material as the bottom cell absorption layer are studied. To effectively improve the photon absorption ratio and performance of the 4‐T tandem device, both reflection and parasitic absorption should be reduced. Afterward, by optimizing the doping concentration of the carrier transport layer, a 4‐T all‐perovskite tandem solar cell with a high PCE of 30.45% is obtained. For the 2‐T all‐perovskite tandem device, the all‐inorganic perovskites with different halogen components (CsPbI3−xBrx, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3) are used as the absorption layer of the top cell, respectively. Through the optimization of the current matching of the subcell, the photoelectric field distribution, the parasitic absorption of the device, etc., an optimal PCE of 27.86% is obtained based on 2‐T CsPbI2Br/MASn0.5Pb0.5I3 tandem device. This study provides a guide for achieving high performance perovskite/perovskite tandem solar cells.
