Solar cells (SCs) based on non-toxic, lead-free silver bismuth iodide (SBI, Ag3BiI6) absorbers have recently gained tremendous attention compared to lead halide perovskites. However, the actual device efficiency still does not exceed 6%. Therefore, finding a suitable SBI SC architecture with proper ETL and HTL layers is crucial attaining maximum performance. In this research, SCAPS-1D simulation used design SC, consisting of an SBI-absorber, CeOx-ETL, three different HTLs (pristine Cu2O, Te & Se/Te doped Cu2O) under standard illumination. After optimization all thickness defect densities, Se/Te-Cu2O-HTL showed 17.7% higher built-in potential (1.37 V) than other devices (16.5%, 1.31 V for Te-Cu2O 16%, 1.25 due its enhanced hole transfer reduced recombination at Ag3BiI6/HTL interface. Besides, impact radiative recombinations, parasitic resistances, capacitance, Mott-Schottky, Nyquist plot working temperature are carefully examined. The Voc deficit increases by increasing operating temperature, visibly, Se/Te-Cu2O (0.49 shows (0.39 Cu2O (0.34 devices. Overall, our findings can be helpful experimentalists reach high in near future.
