摘要
The TiO2/Cu2O heterojunction solar cell was investigated in the study given by using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS). It has been thoroughly investigated how different layer factors, such as thickness, defect density and acceptor density affect cell performance. The efficiencies (eta) of solar cell were shown to be influenced by the thickness of the absorber (Cu2O) and buffer (TiO2) layers using numerical analysis. TiO2/Cu2O optimized solar cell design demonstrated potential efficiency of about 23%. We then looked at how temperature affected the photovoltaic efficiency.
