The BHJ-OSCs based on non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) have shown better performance and stability as compared to its fullerene acceptor based counterpart. In this study, we have considered a blend of ITIC as NFA and PBDB-T as donor. The NFA organic solar cell having configuration ITO/NiO/IL1/PBDB-T/ITIC/IL2/ C 60 /Ag is simulated using SCAPS-1D with an aim to investigate nickel oxide (NiO) as potential HTL. The simulated structure shows Jsc, ‘n, FF and Voc of 13.63 mA/cm2, 12.58%, 85.75% and 1.079 V respectively. Hence, the obtained results can pave the way for improving performance of NFA organic solar cell with NiO as potential HTL.
