Improving the performance of perovskite solar cells using kesterite mesostructure and plasmonic network
A new design for perovskite solar cell using kesterite mesostructure is introduced and simulated to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells. The NiO and ZnO used as inorganic p-type and n-type carriers transporting layers, respectively. Plasmonic network is employed to improve the absorbance of kesterite mesoscopic perovskite solar cell. Plasmonic network which induces near field into the absorber layer and the kesterite mesostructure which enhances light absorption and hole transportation, lead to higher light confinement inside the perovskite absorber layer. They are able to broaden the absorbance spectrum and enhance the external quantum efficiency of the bare planar perovskite solar cell without any light-trapping structure by 29%.
