摘要
The extensive outcomes of the specific modeling method for hybrid photovoltaic solar cells at the illumination condition of AM 1.5G spectrum are shown in this simulation work. This research aims to optimize the efficiency of the device structures by introducing the novel hybrid-absorber layer (AL). The hybrid solar cell (HSC) has higher efficiency with an absorber layer (AL), i.e., Copper Zinc Tin Sulphide. The current simulation uses ZnO, V2O5, and Spiro-OMeTAD as the carrier transport layers (CTLs); both hole/electron transport layer (HTL/ETL) to sandwich the CZTS, which have precise bandgaps of 1.5 eV. Using double HTLs of Spiro-OMeTAD/V2O5 offers a high efficiency of 23.21%. The detailed examination of thickness, total defect density (DD), temperature dependency, and impedance-capacitance analysis of the simulated device structures are also studied simultaneously.
