Improving the performance of cadmium telluride solar cell (CdTe) with different buffer layers

Improving the performance of cadmium telluride solar cell (CdTe) with different buffer layers

In this paper, the performance of the buffer layer of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cell was optimized using SCAPS software. At first, five different buffer layers including CdS, In2S3, ZnO, ZnSe and ZnS with variable thicknesses from 10 to 100 nm have been replaced in the structure of th...
