Analysis Of SnS2 Buffer Layer And SnS Back Surface Layer Based CZTS Solar Cells Using SCAPS
Abstract
A Copper-Zinc-Tin-Sulphide (CZTS)based solar cell with a modified ce3ll configuration of Mo/SnS/CZTS/SnS2/ZnO is simulated using SCAPS. An SnS2 buffer layer is used in simulation instead of the standard CdS layer. An additional back surface passivation layer of SnS is added in the modified cell configuration. An improvement in the solar cell efficiency compared to the standard CdS buffer based solar cell configuration Mo/CZTS/CdS/ZnO is found. The observations suggest the possibility of using SnS2 as a potential replacement of CdS. In addition, the use of a back surface passivation layer leads to improved solar cell performance.
