Abstract
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has remarkable optoelectronic capabilities that make it a promising option for the next generation solar cells. In this work, a solar cell with the structure Al/FTO/CdS/Sb2Se3/Mo is modeled and numerically analyzed using SCAPS-1D program. Furthermore, a Al/FTO/CdS/Sb2Se3/Sb2S3/Mo solar cell structure that uses Sb2S3 as the back surface field (BSF) layer is proposed. A comprehensive examination of photovoltaic characteristics for the solar cells was carried out. The optimization process involved adjusting the operating temperature, series and shunt resistance, doping concentration, bulk defect density, back contact metal work function, and thickness of the absorber layer. The optimized Sb2Se3-based solar cell with Sb2S3 material showed a conversion efficiency of 28.91%, suggesting that Sb2Se3-based solar cells have a great deal of potential for further development.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
