Abstract

Cs 2 TiBr 6 materials have promising applications in organic–inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), but their power conversion efficiency (PCE) is low. Herein, based on the matching band structure of MASnBr 3 and Cs 2 TiBr 6 , a no‐electron transport layer (ETL)‐structured laminated PSC is constructed for numerical simulation using SCAPS‐1D. The results have shown that the ETL‐free structure reduces the potential barrier between the interfaces and improves the performance of the device. MASnBr 3 is used to replace the traditional hole transport layer to form a laminated structure, which is more conducive to the built‐in electric field of the device. Through exploring the internal influencing factors and applicable environment, it is found that the device can maintain a good operating level between 230 and 430 K. Finally, the best PCE of 19.63% is achieved in the proposed device structure (FTO/Cs 2 TiBr 6 /MASnBr 3 /Au). This work provides a new approach to achieving lead‐free and efficient laminated PSCs in a wide temperature range of usage environments from −43 to 157 °C.
