Design and performance optimization of quasi-homojunction solar cells based on Cl/Bi-doped Sb2Se3-stacked bilayer
摘要
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3), an eco-friendly and cost-efficient photovoltaic material, has garnered significant research interest for overcoming its inherent limitations of low conductivity and carrier density. In this study, Cl/Bi dual-doped Sb2Se3 thin films were fabricated via magnetron sputtering. The doping process modified the conduction type of Sb2Se3, yielding n-type (Sb2Se3-Cl) and p-type (Sb2Se3-Bi) semiconductors. These layers were stacked into a quasi-homojunction structure to construct thin-film solar cells with the configuration FTO/Sb2Se3-Cl/Sb2Se3-Bi/Al. Through optimized heat treatment, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) and photoelectric conversion efficiency (η) were significantly improved, exceeding 18.2 mA cm−2 and 2.26%. This enhancement is attributed to the quasi-homojunction’s superior interfacial lattice matching and reduced defect density, demonstrating its potential for high-performance Sb2Se3 photovoltaics.
