| Perovskite solar cells have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional silicon photovoltaics. Despite this progress, challenges related to long-term stability persist, particularly those arising from the presence of lead. To address these issues, researchers are actively developing lead-free materials that can deliver comparable performance. In this study, we use SCAPS-1D numerical simulations to investigate the photovoltaic performance of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells based on CH₃NH₃SnBr₃. Our analysis focuses on the influence of compressive strain on device performance. We investigated strain levels (0%, –2%, –4%, and –6%) and found that –6% strain yielded the best performance. Furthermore, we systematically examined the effects of absorber thickness, bulk defect density, interface defect density, and operating temperature. The optimized device under –6% strain delivered an open-circuit voltage of 1.16 V, a short-circuit current density of 31.60 mA/cm², a fill factor of 89.02%, and a theoretical power conversion efficiency of 32.82%. Moreover, the applied compressive strain enhances the structural stability, offering a novel route toward efficient and durable lead-free perovskite solar cells. These findings demonstrate that strain engineering is a promising strategy to enhance the performance of lead-free perovskite solar cells while remaining consistent with the fundamental efficiency limits of single-junction devices. | ||
