Abstract
Antimony sulphide (Sb2S3) based solar cells are the promising contender in the photovoltaic (PV) industry owing to non-toxic nature, low cost and availability on earth. In this proposed work, Sb2S3 absorber based PV device is designed and studied through simulation as performed with the help of SCAPS-1D tool. The impact of different thickness variations of Sb2S3 layer is examined and varied from 50 to 500 nm. The designed structure of the proposed device is ITO/ZnO/Zn(O,S):N/SnO2/Sb2S3. The device performance is optimized at 500 nm thickness and obtained higher PV parameters: JSC of 17.22 mA/cm2, VOC of 0.79 V, FF of 58.8% and PCE of 8.04%. The obtained results of this whole study provide new vision for the development of device.
