A simple method for Ge incorporation to enhance performance of low temperature and non-vacuum based CZTSSe solar cells

Prabeesh Punathil et al.

Summary: Despite slow efficiency development, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)(4) still has potential as an absorber material for solar cells. Compared to other absorbers, CZTSSe has the advantage of low-cost fabrication using solution-based growth techniques. The efficiency of the material can be improved by optimizing the fabrication process and introducing impurity inclusion.

High-performance ultrathin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cell optimized by silvaco tools

Nour El I. Boukortt et al.

Summary: The research investigated the impact of various factors on ultrathin CIGS solar cell performance, finding that using thin film Al2O3 for rear-passivation can significantly improve cell performance by reducing rear side contact recombination losses. However, poor passivation was observed with high density of positive charge or high contact resistance at the interface. The optimal combination led to achieving the best cell performance.

Numerical optimization of ultrathin CIGS solar cells with rear surface passivation

Nour El Boukortt et al.

Summary: The ultrathin Cu (In1-xGax) Se2 solar cells with rear surface passivation were optimized using Silvaco-TCAD tools. The study demonstrated that the diversity of carrier transport mechanisms at the heterointerface CdS/CIGS has a significant impact on cell performance. The ultrathin CIGS structure used in the experiment can achieve efficiencies of up to 13%.
