The existence of serious hysteresis effect for regular perovskite solar cells (PSCs) will affect their performances, however, the inverted PSCs can significantly suppress the hysteresis effect. To data, it has been very rarely reported to simulate the inverted planar heterojunction PSCs. In this paper, the effects of hole transport material (HTM), electron transport material (ETM), and ITO work function on performance of inverted MAPbI3 solar cells are carefully investigated in order to design the high-performance inverted PSCs. The inverted MAPbI3 solar cells using Cu2O, CuSCN, or NiOx as HTM, and PC61BM, TiO2, or ZnO as ETM are simulated with the program AMPS-1D. Simulation results reveal that i) the inverted MAPbI3 solar cells choosing NiOx as HTM can effectively improve the photovoltaic performance, and the excellent photovoltaic performance obtained by using TiO2 as ETM is almost the same as by using ZnO as ETM; ii) the ITO work function increasing from 4.6 eV to 5.0 eV can significantly enhance the photovoltaic performances of Cu2O— based and CuSCN— based inverted MAPbI3 solar cells, and the NiOx— based inverted MAPbI3 solar cells have only a minor photovoltaic performance enhancement; iii) based on the reported ITO work function between 4.6 eV and 4.8 eV, the maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 27.075% and 29.588% for CuSCN— based and NiOx— based inverted MAPbI3 solar cells are achieved when the ITO work function reaches 4.8 eV. The numerical simulation gives that the increase of hole mobility in CuSCN and NiOx for ITO/CuSCN/MAPbI3/TiO2/Al and ITO/NiOx/MAPbI3/TiO2/Al can greatly improve the device performance. Experimentally, the maximum hole mobility 0.1 cm2·V–1·s–1 in CuSCN restricts the photovoltaic performance improvement of CuSCN— based inverted MAPbI3 solar cells, which means that there is still room for the improvement of cell performance through increasing the hole mobility in CuSCN. It is found that NiOx with a reasonable energy-band structure and high hole mobility 120 cm2·V–1·s–1 is an ideal HTM in inverted MAPbI3 solar cells. However, the increasing of electron mobility in TiO2 cannot improve the device photovoltaic performance of inverted MAPbI3 solar cells. These simulation results reveal the effects of ETM, HTM, and ITO work function on the photovoltaic performance of inverted MAPbI3 solar cells. Our researches may help to design the high-performance inverted PSCs.
