Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are regarded as extremely efficient and have significant potential for upcoming photovoltaic technologies due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, a few obstacles, which include the instability high costs of production lead-based PSCs, hinder commercialization. In this study, performance cell with configuration FTO/CdS/BaZrS3/HTL/Ir was optimized by varying thickness perovskite layer, hole transport temperature, electron layer (ETL)’s defect density, absorber energy band, work function back contact. Various layers (HTLs), including Cu2O, CuSCN, P3HT, PEDOT:PSS, were assessed select best materials that would achieve stability in PSC devices. At optimal levels, PEDOT:PSS reached maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) 18.50%, while Cu2O exhibited PCE 5.81, 10.73, 9.80%, respectively. The attributed better band alignment between and, thus, low recombination photogenerated charges. other parameters device short-circuit current density (Jsc) 23.46 mA cm−2, an open-circuit voltage (Voc) 8.86 (V), fill factor (FF) 8.90%. This study highlights chalcogenide-based PSCs stable alternative traditional cells, successful optimization paving way future research on eco-friendly scalable methods.

Abstract Among the emerging photovoltaic technologies, solid‐state dye‐sensitised solar cells (ssDSSCs) have attracted considerable interest due to their cost‐effective production, adjustable characteristics, and potential for lightweight flexible applications. Nevertheless, achieving efficiencies comparable established such as perovskite silicon‐based devices, proven challenging. Herein, device structure, Pt/PEDOT: PSS/N719 dye/PC 61 BM/ITO is investigated theoretically using cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS‐1D). Groundbreaking advancement introduced in ssDSSC design, remarkable theoretical power conversion efficiency of 20.73%, surpassing performance reported traditional dye‐based technologies. The model demonstrates an exceptional Fill factor 86.64%, indicating efficient current collection; along with a modest short‐circuit density ( J sc ) 22.38 mA/cm 2 impressive open‐circuit voltage V oc 1.0691 V, highlighting light absorption charge separation.
