摘要
SCAPS-1D 是一种一维太阳能电池模拟器,是根据逐层材料特性预测设备性能的重要工具。铜锌锡硫化物(CZTS)因其优异的光吸收系数及其组成元素的丰富性和无毒性,已成为一种前景广阔的吸收材料。本研究利用 SCAPS-1D 来研究基于 CZTS 的太阳能电池的工作机制。我们模拟了 AM 1.5 光谱照明和 300 K 温度条件下的 Mo/CZTS/CdS/ZnO 器件结构,分析了单层厚度对光伏性能的影响。此外,对比分析还探讨了各种 n 型材料的影响。此外,在 CZTS 中掺入锑(Sb)会显著提高电池的效率。掺锑 CZTS 的效率达到了 21.90%,而通过减少重组损耗和增强光电流,效率提高了 3%。这项研究深入探讨了掺杂锑以提高薄膜太阳能电池性能的可能性。
Enhancing Cu2ZnSnS4 Solar Cell Efficiency through Antimony Substitution for Tin: A SCAPS-1D Simulation Study
SCAPS-1D, a one-dimensional solar cell simulator, provides a valuable tool for predicting device performance based on layer-by-layer material properties. Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) has emerged as a promising absorber material due to its exceptional light absorption coefficient and the abundance and non-toxic nature of its constituent elements. This study leverages SCAPS-1D to investigate the working mechanism of CZTS-based solar cells. We simulate a Mo/CZTS/CdS/ZnO device structure under AM 1.5 spectrum illumination and 300 K temperature, analyzing the impact of individual layer thickness on photovoltaic performance. Further, a comparative analysis explores the influence of various n-type materials.. In addition, the introduction of antimony (Sb) doping into CZTS leads to a significant change in efficiency of the cell. The efficiency of Sbdoping CZTS attained 21.90%, while there was a great improvement by 3% via reduced recombination losses and enhanced photocurrent. This work gives an insight into the possibility of Sb doping for the improvement in the performance of thin-film solar cells.
