摘要

硒化铜铟镓(CIGS)太阳能电池由于其稳定性、相对较低的生产成本和高效率,特别是在串联配置中使用时,成为领先的薄膜光伏器件。本文提出了一种单片串联电池。硒化铜镓(CGS)和CIGS结构构成了该电池的两个p-n结。考虑到铟浓度、温度和底部电池吸收层厚度的变化,利用二维Silvaco-Atlas模拟器对所研究的串联电池的电参数进行了优化。在考虑缺陷密度和不考虑缺陷密度的情况下,比较CGS/CIGS串联太阳能电池的性能,得到铟浓度x = 0.81的最优值,对应缺陷密度Nt = 1.66·1015 cm−3的最小值。当考虑材料缺陷密度时,该串联电池的效率达到20.35%,开路电压(VOC)为1.58 V,短路电流密度(JSC)为16.26 mA cm−2,填充系数(FF)为79.40%。然而,忽略缺陷密度时,η值为32.58%,突出了缺陷密度对单片CGS/CIGS串联太阳能电池整体性能的影响。

The impact of defect density on a CGS/CIGS tandem solar cell’s performance
Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) solar cells became a leading thin-film photovoltaic device because of their stability, relatively low production costs, and high efficiency, particularly when used in tandem configurations. A monolithic tandem cell is proposed in this paper. Copper Gallium Selenide (CGS) and CIGS structures constitute the two p-n junctions of this cell. The studied tandem cell’s electrical parameters were optimized using a 2D Silvaco-Atlas simulator, considering the variation of the indium concentration, the temperature, and the thickness of the bottom cell’s absorber layer. Comparisons between the performance of the CGS/CIGS tandem solar cell, considering and excluding defect density, were then done for the optimal value of Indium concentration x = 0.81 which corresponds to the minimum value of defect density Nt = 1.66·1015 cm−3. When the density of material defects is considered, the efficiency of the proposed tandem cell attained 20.35 %, with an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.58 V, a short-circuit current density (JSC) of 16.26 mA cm−2 and a Fill Factor (FF) of 79.40 %. However, an efficiency of η = 32.58 % is obtained when the defect density is ignored, highlighting the impact of defect density on the overall performance of the monolithic CGS/CIGS tandem solar cell.
