Numerical simulation of quantum dots as a buffer layer in CIGS solar cells: a comparative study

Abstract Quantum bandgap buffer layers can improve sunlight absorption in the short wavelength region, hence improving the performance of CIGS solar cells. In this study, we use numerical modelling to determine the impact of various buffer layers' electrical characteristics on the performance o...
