Abstract

Mo_0.29Cu_0.01O_0.70 exhibited a bandgap of 2.9 eV, a work function of 4.46 eV, and an energy level difference (E_F-E_V) of 0.97 eV. The study demonstrated that doping copper into molybdenum oxides (Mo_xCu_yO_z) in monocrystalline silicon solar cells (MSCs) increased the conversion efficiency from 20.5 % to 21.1 %. Additionally, the fixed oxide charge (Q_f) of Mo_0.29Cu_0.01O_0.70 was −3.5 x 10¹³ cm⁻², which improved the back surface field. The proposed Mo_xCu_yO_z shows greater external quantum efficiency (EQE) enhancement than undoped MoO_x, consistent with the improved Q_f of Mo_xCu_yO_z.
