This research investigates the solar cell parameters of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) employing MAPbCl₃ and MAPbBr₃ as photoanodes. Leveraging the SCAPS-1D software, we explore the potential of methylammonium halides with elevated band gaps as viable alternatives to traditional TiO₂. Notably, MAPbCl₃ exhibits an efficiency of 13.78%, while MAPbBr₃ achieves 10.76%. The comparative study, conducted under quasi-ideal conditions, anticipates lower efficiencies in real-world experiments but remains consistent within the reliable range of DSSC solar cells.
