Simulation Study Toward High-Performance Transparent-Conductive-Oxide Free Perovskite Solar Cells Using Metal Microcavity and Optical Coupling Layer

The microcavity perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are designed by sandwiching the perovskite layer between the ultrathin Ag and opaque Ag electrodes. Compared to transparent-conductive-oxide (TCO) based PSCs, the microcavity PSCs with the bare Ag electrode show the poor optical performance due to the tr...
