Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance Enhancement Strategy of Ultra-Thin CIGS Solar CellsSoumaïla Ouédraogo, Boureima Traoré, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré et al.In this article, numerical modeling and simulation using SCAPS-1D software has been used to explore the performance of CIGS-based solar cells when some parameters are modified. Starting from a baseline model that rigorously reproduces the experimental results, the absorber properties such as defect density, band-gap and acceptor concentration have been investigated and the optimal values to obtain high-efficiency CIGS-base solar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2020 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy of Au/n-Ti2S/p-Si/Al Schottky-Type Thin Film Heterojunction Solar Cells: Computer Simulation ModelingAli IbrahimThe Au/n-Ti2S/p-Si/Al heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer solar cells were analyzed by AFORS-HET software program. Thickness of the emitter intrinsic layer and the interface state density of such cells were studied. In which, the intrinsic layer inserted between the Ti2S and crystalline p-type silicon substrate, reduce the interface state density. The thinner intrinsic layer is better than thicker one, when the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Jun 2015 · 6,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNatural Sensitizer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Three Layers of Photoelectrode Thin Films with a Schottky BarrierHo Chang, Mu-Jung Kao, Tien-Li Chen et al.Problem statement: This study combines Au nanoparticles with TiO2 nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier and applies it to the photoelectrode thin film of Dye-Sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs). Approach: First, commercial TiO2 powder (Degussa P25) was put into the alkaline solution to prepare TiO nanotubes (Tnt) by a hydrothermal process. Tnt were sintered at 550° to obtain TntC550 particles and … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Annealing Temperature on Characteristics of Bismuth Doped Zinc Oxide FilmsSirirat Tubsungnoen Rattanachan, Phanuwat Krongarrom, Thipwan FangsuwannarakIn this study, Bismuth (Bi) doped ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by a sol-gel spin coating method and annealed at different annealing temperatures of 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700°C, respectively. Structural and optical properties of nanocrystalline Bi-doped ZnO film on quartz were investigated by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2013 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling the Effect of P-N Junction Depth on the Output of Planer and Rectangular Textured Solar CellsF. Jahanshah, K. Sopian, S. H. Zaidi et al.Problem statement: High cost of the solar cells is one of the important limitations in extensively using of the photovoltaic panels. Thin monocrystalline silicon solar cell could be reduce the cost but lost the absorption efficiency. Surface texturing help to enhance absorption. Using of advance texturing by diffraction grating was suggested for high absorption. It is necessary to investigate the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
