摘要/Abstract

摘要：

Cd-free kesterite structured solar cells are currently attracting attention because they are environmentally friendly. It is reported that Zn(O,S) can be used as a buffer layer in these solar cells. However, the band alignment is not clear and the carrier concentration of Zn(O,S) layer is low. In this study, the band alignment of the Zn(O,S)/Cu₂ZnSnSe₄ p-n junction solar cell and the effect of In₂S₃/Zn(O,S) double buffer layer are studied by numerically simulation with wxAMPS software. By optimizing the band gap structure between Zn(O,S) buffer layer and Cu₂ZnSnSe₄ absorber layer and enhancing the carrier concentration of Zn(O,S) layer, the device efficiency can be improved greatly. The value of CBO is in a range of 0 eV-0.4 eV for S/(S+O)=0.6-0.8 in Zn(O,S). The In₂S₃ is mainly used to increase the carrier concentration when it is used as a buffer layer together with Zn(O,S).
