Abstract: A new type of perovskite sensitized programmable WSe2 photodiode is constructed based on MAPbI3/WSe2 heterojunction, presenting flexible reconfigurable characteristics and prominent optoelectronic performances. The unique design of MAPbI3/WSe2 device provides a new idea to fabricate high-performance programmable photodiodes. In addition, the combination of atomic thin 2D materials and ionic solids enables effective coupling between electronic transport and ionic transport, which may open up a new pathway for unconventional computing, information storage systems, and programmable optoelectronic devices.

Abstract: The Spiro-OMeTAD is an excellent candidate for application as hole transport material (HTM), but its high hygroscopicity, inclination to crystallize, and fragility to moisture and heat make it unsuitable for solar cells. Thus, it is of interest to inves-tigate other HTM candidates. In this paper, the use of p-type InGaAs as hole transport material (HTM) has been suggested to enhance the performance of perovskite-based solar cells (PSC). The simulation of a hybrid CH3NH3PbI3/InGaAs planar heterojunction perovskite solar cell is performed using the Silvaco ATLAS simulator. In order to confirm the predictability of the proposed simulation methodology, the conventional ITO/TiO2/MAPbI3/Spiro-OMeTAD structure is simulated, and shows good coherence with experimental results. The proposed design using InGaAs as HTM outperforms the conventional device in terms of short-circuit current density (JSC) of 37.2 mA/cm2, open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1 V, fill factor (FF) of 80% and high value of efficiency. In addition, the findings show that with In content of x = 0.7 the efficiency will improve to reach a value of about 30%.
