Use Cases

NicolaCourtier edited this page Sep 4, 2022 · 5 revisions

This code is intended for use by researchers in the field of perovskite solar cells. Example use cases include:

  • simulating current-voltage curves, with the ability to change key material properties in order to investigate trends in performance and the extent of hysteresis
  • simulating photo-current or photo-voltage transients to investigate the effects of halide ion migration
  • visualising the effects of halide ion migration on the internal electrical state of a PSC

The code has been used in the following publications:

2019

  • The authors of this code published an investigation into how material properties of the transport layers affect perovskite solar cell performance in Energy & Environmental Science, while based at the Universities of Southampton, Bath and Portsmouth.

  • The paper accompanying the release of this code is published in the Journal of Computational Electronics.

2020

  • Dr Nicola Courtier (University of Southampton, UK) used the code to study the interpretation of ideality factors for perovskite solar cells and verify a simplified model for steady-state operation, published in Physical Review Applied.

  • A research collaboration between the Universities of Southampton, Bath, and Portsmouth (UK) and Pablo de Olavide University (Seville, Spain) published a investigation in to how key physical properties of a PSC can be deduced from its impedance response in Nanoscale.

  • A research collaboration between the Universities of Southampton, Bath and Portsmouth (UK) and CSIRO Energy (Australia) used the code to deduce transport properties of mobile vacancies from perovskite solar cell characteristics, as published in Journal of Applied Physics.
