Optical and electrical performance study of C2N based solar cell with CZT as an HTL material using SCAPS 1-D simulation tool
摘要
Carbon Nitride (C2N) a nitrogenated holey two-dimensional material, gaining extensive interest in the solar cell applications due to its thermal stability and exhibits high absorption coefficient. Due to its direct bandgap property, it will be a suitable absorber layer for solar cells. Using C2N as an absorber layer the efficiency of solar cells will be increased. The selection of the most suitable BSF layer is crucial, as it affects the efficiency through proper band alignment with C2N conduction band and can significantly impact the stability and power conversion efficiency of the solar cell. To enhance the efficiency parameters and photovoltaic current BSF layer is vital. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the solar cell using different Hole Transport Layer (HTL) by considering C2N as an active layer. The key parameters such as VOC, JSC, FF and PCE of the proposed solar cell will be studied using simulation software SCAPS-1D tool. The solar cell working in different conditions such with temperature and with dark conditions will be studied to evaluate the performance. This work will reveal a path way to the PV community to use different HTL materials in the C2N based solar cell in near future.
