Introduction

Research into alternative photovoltaic materials has increasingly examined lead-free perovskite compositions as potential candidates for next-generation solar-energy devices. Tin-based perovskites, including methylammonium tin iodide and methylammonium tin bromide, are among the materials investigated through numerical modelling and device-architecture optimization. Aslam’s listed publications contribute to this area by examining transport-layer configurations and simulated photovoltaic performance. [1][2][3][4]

Research Profile

The available bibliographic record identifies Chemistry as the principal subject area and reports a Scopus author profile with five documents, fifteen citations and an h-index of two. The publication record supplied for this recognition profile contains five journal articles covering numerical photovoltaic studies, transport-layer optimization, thermoelectric materials and photovoltaic-system assessment. [5]

Research Contributions

One major research direction concerns lead-free tin-based perovskite solar cells. The study titled High-efficiency lead-free CH₃NH₃SnI₃ perovskite solar cell with inorganic transport layers: SCAPS-1D and PVSyst-Based numerical study investigates a device architecture through numerical modelling and system-level photovoltaic simulation. [1]

A second contribution focuses specifically on electron transport layer optimization for CH₃NH₃SnBr₃-based perovskite solar cells. This work addresses how transport-layer selection can be examined computationally as part of photovoltaic-device design. [2][3][4]
