Thanks for the compliment! Perovskite solar cells have achieved efficiencies close to 30% in tandem configurations. Specifically, tandem solar cells combining perovskites with other materials, such as silicon, have reached certified power conversion efficiencies of around 32.5% in research settings. The standalone single-junction perovskite solar cells have reached efficiencies in the range of 25-26% in laboratory conditions, but not 30% yet. As for hybrid perovskite solar cells reaching 50% efficiency, that level has not been attained. While theoretical predictions suggest that hybrid tandem configurations (combining different materials with perovskites) could potentially reach efficiencies above 40-45%, achieving 50% remains a significant technical challenge due to losses from recombination, non-ideal bandgaps, and other factors.
@@HabibAhmadGatech Regard to your suggestion about some losses, I did the simulation the result is the same as your answer 40-45%, you are totally right!!!! WoW, Have you already develop the right structure?
SCAPS has only limited materials in the C...Program files....Scaps...def folder. SCAPS-1D doesn’t come with an extensive built-in materials library, but you can find or create .def files for various materials in the following ways: 1. Official SCAPS Website: Check the SCAPS-1D website for any official updates or additional materials files that can be used in simulations. Sometimes example files are provided that contain material definitions for solar cells like CIGS, CdTe, etc. 2. Research Papers: Many researchers share their SCAPS .def files in their publications or supplementary materials. Searching for papers on solar cells with similar material systems (e.g., InGaP, GaAs) could yield usable parameter sets. 3. Online Forums and Research Groups: Platforms like ResearchGate, or specific solar cell research groups, often have researchers willing to share SCAPS files. 4. User-Created Libraries: Some researchers upload their .def files in repositories like GitHub. You can search for these by looking for SCAPS material libraries or tandem solar cell projects. 5. Create Your Own Library: If you have access to the necessary parameters (like bandgap, electron affinity, carrier mobilities, etc.) from material datasheets or research, you can manually input these values into SCAPS and create your own material definitions.
Sir I followed your example for perovskite solar cell in scaps 1D but I am getting convergence failure at lambda = 360.00m and QE calculation cut at lambda =350.00 nm . Could you please help me in figuring out this error
@@BintiIslam It's a different version than the one I simulated the structure on. Others have faced a similar issue. Try playing around with the material properties.
Sir, please make a video on Grain boundaries or grain size in Scaps....If u please provide ur email id...I can share some articles... I want to learn how to incorporate grain size or grain boundaries in Scaps 1D. Waiting for ur response
Thanks for this high impact and dearly needed video, sir!
My pleasure!
Glad it was helpful.
Great topic. Awesome lecture.
Thanks for listening
您这也太强了，什么仿真都会，在你这学了不少。是我仿真入门导师了
Thanks for the compliment!
Great job sir
Thanks!
Thank you so much much dr, I want ask how we can change the power of suns or lamps in the scaps-1D, I tried but don't change it.
Thank you, your video is very helpful to me 🙏
Glad it was helpful! You are welcome!
Please post a video on XRD analysis.
Sure. Will do.
Sir please make a video on Thin film transistor
Sure. Noted.
Sir Very nice and comprehensive video on SCAPs-1d.Sir, how can we generate these absorption co-efficient files?
Thanks for your query. I plan to post a video on this soon.
You are so professional. Does Perovskite Solar Cell can reach 30% efficacy? or Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cell can reach more closely 50%?
Thanks for the compliment!
