This paper numerically explores the possibility of ultrathin layering and high efficiency of graphene as a back surface field (BSF) based on a CdTe solar cell by Personal computer one-dimensional (PC1D) simulation. CdTe solar cells have been characterized and studied by varying the carrier lifetime, doping concentration, thickness, and bandgap of the graphene layer. With simulation results, the highest short-circuit current (Isc = 2.09 A), power conversion efficiency (h = 15%), and quantum efficiency (QE ~ 85%) were achieved at a carrier lifetime of 1 × 103 ms and a doping concentration of 1 × 1017 cm−3 of graphene as a BSF layer-based CdTe solar cell. The thickness of the graphene BSF layer (1 mm) was proven the ultrathin, optimal, and obtainable for the fabrication of high-performance CdTe solar cells, confirming the suitability of graphene material as a BSF. This simulation confirmed that a CdTe solar cell with the proposed graphene as the BSF layer might be highly efficient with optimized parameters for fabrication.

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) materials have been widely investigated due to their excellent properties in solar cell applications. The common reference structure for CZTS cells is Al:ZnO(AZO)/i-ZnO/CdS/CZTS, but it is critical to find a suitable buffer layer material to replace toxic cadmium (Cd). In addition, the efficiency of CZTS cells is improved by improving the doping type (n or p) and doping concentration of MoS2 generated during the manufacturing process. wxAMPS was used to simulate the performance of a CZTS battery with an Al:ZnO/i-ZnO/Zn(O,S)/CZTS/(MoS2) structure. The performance of batteries using Zn(O,S) and CdS as buffer layers was compared. The optimal thickness of CZTS layer and the doping concentration of CZTS layer were calculated, and the doping type and concentration of MoS2 layer were analyzed and the performance of the battery was improved by optimizing the solar cell parameters. This work provides novel ideas for designing and manufacturing higher performance solar cells.

Well crystallized Aluminium (Al) doped Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with various doping concentration (0, 0.05[Formula: see text]M, 0.07[Formula: see text]M, 0.09[Formula: see text]M and 0.11[Formula: see text]M) were synthesized successfully by sol–gel route to develop the photo anode of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). Anatase crystalline nature of TiO2 nanoparticles was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrophotometer. The Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the morphology of the photo anode (Al-doped TiO2 nanoparticles). The photovoltaic performance of the DSSC in terms of Current, Voltage and efficiency was investigated with a standard illumination of AM1.5G having an irradiance 100[Formula: see text]mW/cm2. Optimized values of Short Circuit Current density ([Formula: see text]), Open Circuit Voltage ([Formula: see text]) and efficiency ([Formula: see text]) obtained was 247.62[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A/cm2, 359[Formula: see text]mV and 0.02456%, respectively for 0.07[Formula: see text]M Al doping concentration. Eco-friendly Eosin Y dye was used for sensitization of the photo anode. The optimized photovoltaic cell exhibits very good efficiency (80.05% more than the earlier reported work).
