Simulating the Performance of a Formamidinium Based Mixed Cation Lead Halide Perovskite Solar Cell

With the aim of decreasing the number of experiments to obtain a perovskite solar cell (PSC) with maximum theoretical efficiency, in this paper, PSC performance was studied using the program solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D). The PSC with the architecture ITO/TiO<sub>2</sub>/pe...
