A nanostructured solar cells consist of a nonporous n-type TiO2 nanoparticles and a p-type semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film has been numerically simulated using SCAPS-1D tool. The performed theoretically analysis is compared with the experimental reported data. The band diagram, IV characteristics and quantum efficiency of this structure is considered. The benefit of both TiO2 and CZTS material leads to more than 10% conversion efficiency which is promising between the nanoparticle-based heterojunbctions proposed for PV applications.

Influence Of Temperature On

Semiconductor materials cadmium sulfide (CdS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) are employed in the fabrication of thin film solar cells of relatively excessive power conversion efficiency and low producing price. Simulations of thin film CdS/CdTe solar cell were carried out using SCAPS-1D. The influence of temperature field on the variation of CdTe solar cell parameters such as current–voltage, capacitance–voltage characteristics and the external quantum efficiency was investigated theoretically. For use temperatures, one obtains the external quantum efficiency has the same profiles. However, the effect of the temperature on the Mott-Schottky curves is slightly noted by variations on the characteristics. This conclusion can be used by solar cell manufacturers to improve the solar cell parameters with the biggest possible gain in device performance.

The metal complexes ( (phen)2(phendione))(PF6)2(1), [ (phen)(bpy)(phendione))(PF6)2(2), and ( (bpy)2(phendione))(PF6)2(3) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine and phendione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) have been synthesized as photo sensitizers for ZnO semiconductor in solar cells. FT-IR and absorption spectra showed the favorable interfacial binding between the dye-molecules and ZnO surface. The surface analysis and size of adsorbed dye on nanostructure ZnO were further examined with AFM and SEM. The AFM images clearly show both, the outgrowth of the complexes which are adsorbed on ZnO thin film and the depression of ZnO thin film. We have studied photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductor solar cells based on Ru phendione complexes, which gave power conversion efficiency of (η) of 1.54% under the standard AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW cm−2) with a short-circuit photocurrent density () of 3.42 mA cm−2, an open-circuit photovoltage () of 0.622 V, and a fill factor (ff) of 0.72. Monochromatic incident photon to current conversion efficiency was 38% at 485 nm.
