Optimization of individual layer/s thickness in any functional photoelectric device like solar cells is one of the most important design parameters. Experimentalists do have their own limitations in realizing extremely thin functional devices. However, layer thickness is such a crucial factor which helps in deciding overall power conversion efficiency of modern photoelectric and optoelectronic devices. In this device simulation study, thickness of different active layers in a typical perovskite solar cell (PSC) has been tuned to trace the optimal performance as energy conversion device. In the present work, a typical PSCs was constructed of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), perovskite and zinc oxide (ZnO) active layers. In addition to the active layers, suitable front and back metal contacts are taken into the consideration in the form of ITO and Al, respectively. The effect of net photon absorption and further utilization in successive active layers and junctions was the main point of exploration in the simulation. Through this analytical study, experimentalists will get benefitted in designing/implementing their resources towards advancement of PSC research.
