Abstract

This study focuses on enhancing the efficiency of FASnI₃-based perovskite solar cells by investigating variations in electron transport layer (ETL) donor density. The solar cell architecture used in this research is FTO/ETL/FASnI₃/PTAA, with ETL materials varied between TiO₂, ZnO, and SnO₂ and donor density varied from 1016 to 1022 cm-3. The results demonstrate that ZnO exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency, reaching 20.23%, making it a promising candidate for improving the performance of perovskite solar cells. This investigation underscores the impact of donor density in ETL materials on enhancing the efficiency of lead-free perovskite solar cells.
