Simulation and numerical modeling of high-efficiency CZTS solar cells with a BSF layer Pratap Kumar Dakua, Deepak Kumar Panda, Savita Kashyap, Abdelmoumene Laidouci, Sadanand International Journal of Numerical Modelling Electronic Networks Devices and Fields, 2024 The present paper deals with the photovoltaic performance‐based numerical evaluation of copper–zinc–tin–sulfur (CZTS) solar cells embedded with CZTSe as a back surface field (BSF) layer. CZTS has been considered a leading candidate for the fabrication of solar devices owing to its availability and absence of toxicity. Adding a BSF layer to a solar device is a novel way to boost efficiency. It reduces the recombination of the carriers at the back surface, thus increasing the overall current output of the solar cells. SCAPS 1D simulator is used to study the impact of several parameters on electrical properties like temperature, the thickness of the CZTS layer, acceptor doping concentration, and the impact of series and shunt resistances. Considering the optimized parameters in each layer of the solar cells, this work delivers 24.7% efficiency with the BSF layer, which is 8% more than that without the BSF layer. The results of this modeling will facilitate researchers to fabricate a highly efficient CZTS solar cell.
Study on the impact of CuI as Hole Transport Layer (HTL) for CZTS-based Solar Cell Pratap Kumar Dakua, Deepak Kumar Panda, Abdelmoumene Laidouci, Sradhanjali Sahu Proceedings of 5th International Conference on 2023 Devices for Integrated Circuit Devic 2023, 2023 CZTS (copper zinc tin sulfide) is a promising candidate for solar cell applications. In this simulation-based work, the comparison of cell output variation is examined by considering the layer thickness as well as series and shunt resistances. When CuI is used as a hole transport layer (HTL), the Schottky barrier is reduced and efficiency is raised. The final optimized cell with CuI as the HT layer obtained a power conversion efficiency of 16.92%. The performance of the device was compared with and without HTL. The study’s findings pave the path for using CuI as an HTL for solar cell device production using CZTS.
Temperature Effect on ZnGexSn1-xN2/GaN Multiwell Quantum Solar Cells Abdelmoumene Laidouci, Abdelkader Aissat, Jean Pierre Vilcot Proceedings of 2019 7th International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference Irsec 2019, 2019 In this paper, $w$ e are interested in the simulation and modeling of ZnGexSn1-xN2/GaN quantum wells (QWs) solar cell, according to many studies before the solar cells always are sensitive to the temperature, for this case, the effect of the temperature on photovoltaic characteristics such as power density-voltage P(V), current density-voltage I(V), and the external quantum efficiency EQE are investigated. The most parameter affected by the changing in the temperature is the open circuit voltage Voc. for optimization. It has been found at 280 K the cell gives better results of open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency their values are 2.18 V and 2.75% respectively.
