SCAPS-1D Study of SnS Absorber Based Solar Cell; Effect of Thickness and Bang Gap
Abstract: Tin Sulphide (SnS) is considered to be one of the best absorber materials in solar cell applications, due to its high absorption coefficient, optimal band gap, earth abundance and non-toxic nature. In this study the effect of SnS thickness and band gap on the solar cell performance has been studied in terms of efficiency, Voc, Jsc and FF. In the proposed structure Al/Zn(O,S)/SnS/MoO3/Au, Zn(O,S) has been used as an ETL, while MoO3 serves the purpose of HTL. It is found that on increasing the thickness, solar cell performance first increases and then decrease after 1.4 ?m. Similarly, the solar cell attains a maximum efficiency at 1.3 eV. On using the optimized values of thickness and band gap, an efficiency of 27.1%, VOC of 0.92 V, JSC of 34.8 mAcm-2 and FF of 84.9 % were obtained.
