摘要：

CdTe-based thin film solar cell has been modeled and enumerated with a thin CuInTe2 (CIT) current booster layer. CdTe-based n-CdS/p-CdTe/p(+)-CIT/p(++)-WSe2 heterojunction device is evaluated for the highest performance. It is revealed that physical parameters such as thickness, doping, and defects of the CIT layer have a significant influence on the performance of the CdTe solar cell. The device shows an efficiency of 37.46% with an open-circuit voltage, V-OC, of 1.102 V, short-circuit current density, J(SC), of 38.50 mA cm(-2), and fill factor, FF, of 88.30%. The use of the photon recycling technique with a Bragg reflector with 98% back and 95% front reflectance only provides an efficiency of approximate to 44.3% with a current of 45.4 mA cm(-2). These findings are very hopeful for the production of efficient CdTe solar cells in the near future.
