Hole transport layer (HTL) free screen-printed carbon-based perovskite solar cells (SP-C-PSCs) are particularly favored within the realm of PSCs due to their exceptional scalability, durability, and affordability.
These cells are more effective because they employ a variety of absorber materials with different bandgaps, allowing them to effectively absorb a wider range of sunlight wavelengths and so enhance both spectrum utilization and overall efficiency.
Furthermore, Multiple researchers have conducted reviews on diverse cooling technologies that enhance the performance of solar cells. For instance, a review paper by Ghadikolaei provides an overview of various cooling technologies and their impact on the performance of commercially available photovoltaic (PV) cells (Anon (2002)).
The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency. Currently, industrially made silicon solar modules have an efficiency between 16% and 22% (Anon (2023b)).
The power conversion efficiency of a solar cell is a parameter that quantifies the proportion of incident power converted into electricity. The Shockley-Queisser (SQ) model sets an upper limit on the conversion efficiency for a single-gap cell.
However, this will reduce the efficiency as well. Using nanotechnology (Dubey et al., 2014), distributed bragg reflector (DBR) (Peters et al., 2012), and introducing grating structure (Trompoukis et al., 2012) can enhance the efficiency of the thin-film silicon solar cell.
The efficiency of a-Si:H solar cells typically ranges from 7% to 10%, and they are distinguishable from conventional crystalline silicon solar cells by their disordered atomic arrangement, which has a single crystal structure (Idda et al., 2023). The highest efficiency of a-Si cell is found as 12.69%, which is provided in Table 2.
