Optoelectrical, electronic, and thermodynamic DFT study of a carbon nanoring and its derivative: application as active layer material in organic solar cell performance improvement and nonlinear optics

Guy Maurel Dzifack Kenfack et al.

Summary: The optoelectrical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of {6}cycloparaphenylene ({6}CPP) and its derivative, N,N-dimethyl-diaza{6}cycloparaphenylene (DMDA{6}CPP), were investigated in this study. The results showed that DMDA{6}CPP exhibited good characteristics as an absorber material in organic solar cell devices, with a light-harvesting efficiency of 25%. It also demonstrated good hole transport abilities and excellent linear and nonlinear optical properties, positioning it as a perfect candidate for NLO applications and optoelectronics.

Novel Perovskite solar cell: Incorporating CNTs and Cu2O as charge carriers transport materials for performance enhancement - Opto-electrical modelling

Guy Maurel Dzifack Kenfack et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel lead-free perovskite solar cell (PSC) design incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and cuprous oxide (Cu2O) to address the current challenges of cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, long-term stability, and efficiency. Numerical simulations were conducted using SCAPS software to evaluate current-voltage and quantum efficiency characteristics, as well as light trapping mechanisms. The proposed architecture achieved promising results with a Voc of 1.00 V, jsc of 34.65 mA/cm2, FF of 72.80%, and PCE of 25.31%.

Lowering Cost Approach for CIGS-Based Solar Cell Through Optimizing Band Gap Profile and Doping of Stacked Active Layers-SCAPS Modeling

Francis Tchomb Mabvuer et al.

Summary: In this research, we investigated the efficiency loss in thin-film CIGS photovoltaic cells due to reduced absorber coat depth, and found that the disruption of charge-carrier transport is the main cause. To improve the efficiency, we proposed an architecture with a stepped band gap profile. By modifying the gallium content, we modeled a three-steps stacking profile of the active layer and achieved an enhancement in efficiency and fill factor values.

Efficiency improvement of CIGS solar cells using RF sputtered TCO/Ag/TCO thin-film as prospective buffer layer

K. Kacha et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new buffer layer, TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) incorporating ultrathin Ag intermediate film, to enhance the efficiency of CIGS thin-film solar cells (TFSCs). The optoelectronic parameters of multilayer structures based on ZnO/Ag/ZnO and ITO/Ag/ITO are determined and characterized using various techniques. The deposited multilayer thin-films exhibit amorphous-like structure and broadband absorbance, making them potential alternative buffer layers for thin-film solar cells. Numerical investigation of TCO/Ag/TCO/CIGS solar cells reveals high efficiency and current density, indicating that ZnO/Ag/ZnO multilayer can be used as a non-toxic alternative to the conventional CdS buffer layer.
