Effects of the doping density of charge-transporting layers on regular and inverted perovskite solar cells: numerical simulations

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite has achieved great success in the field of solar cells. The charge-transporting layers (CTLs) play an important role on the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In order to elucidate the influence of the doping density of CTLs on the current-voltage characteristics and power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of PSCs, numerical simulation was performed for both n-i-p and p-i-n configurations. The simulated results suggest that the doping density of CTLs must maintain a certain value from the aspect of efficient built-in electric field. The reasonable value of the doping density of CTLs is mainly related to their dielectric constant.
