Abstract |
This paper reports theoretical simulation of the band alignment of zinc oxysulfide Zn(O,S) with kesterite
(Cu2ZnSnS4) material for the photovoltaic application. Zinc oxysulfide Zn(O,S) is selected for this study
due to the possibility of band gap tailoring and non-toxicity. It is widely explored as a buffer layer for the
fabrication of CZTS thin film solar cells. A detailed study is presented in order to investigate the consequences
of band bending due to the use of Zn(O,S) as a buffer layer in Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells and
corresponding electrical performance is explored using one-dimensional simulation tool SCAPS. Presented
analysis shows that the band-gap can be optimized through sulfur content variation, which is beneficial to
reduce the band offset with the heterojunction partner material (i.e. CZTS). The optimization is done by
monitoring the electrical performance of CZTS solar cells. The open circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current
density (Jsc), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (η) are found to vary in the range of 414 to 417 mV, 26.3 to
26.9 mA/cm2, 21 % to 26 % and 2.3 to 2.8 % respectively with respect to variation in sulfur content in the
range of 0 to 30 %. |
