Due to increased energy intensive human activities resulting accelerated demand for electric power coupled with occurrence of natural disasters with increased frequency, intensity, and duration, it becomes essential to explore and advance renewable energy technology for sustainability of the society. Addressing the stated problem and providing a radical solution has been attempted in this study. To harvest the renewable energy, among variety of solar cells reported, a composite a-Si/CZTS photovoltaic devices has not yet been investigated. The calculated parameters for solar cell based on the new array of layers consisting of a-Si/CZTS are reported in this study. The variation of i) solar cell efficiency as a function of CZTS layer thickness, temperature, acceptor, and donor defect concentration; ii) variation of the open circuit current density as a function of temperature, open circuit voltage; iii) variation of open circuit voltage as a function of the thickness of the CZTS layer has been determined. There has been no reported study on a-Si/CZTS configuration-based solar cell, analysis of the parameters, and study to address the challenges imped efficiency of the photovoltaic device and the same has been discussed in this work. The value of the SnO2/a-Si/CZTS solar cells obtained from the simulation is 23.9 %.

Mesoporous TiO2is functionalized by 3-mercaptopropyl trimethyoxysilane (MPTMS) to anchor CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The resulting TiO2/CdSe is combined with solid-state electrolyte (CuSCN) to form solar cells. It is found that the efficiency of electron injection from QDs to TiO2can be improved owing to the substitution of the long chains of organic capping agents at the surface of QDs with MPTMS. The hydrolyzate of MPTMS forms an insulating barrier layer to reduce the recombination at the TiO2/CdSe interface, leading to the increase of open-circuit voltage (Voc).

ABSTRACTWe examine the potential of Bi-Ge-Se chalcogenide glass films as materials for a new type of photovoltaic devices, referred to as junctionless nanodipole PV. Glasses of a chemical composition providing a significant optical absorption were synthesized in quartz ampoules from high-purity Bi, Ge, and Se elements by a conventional melt quenching technique. This material was then used to deposit thin films with different thicknesses on various substrates by thermal evaporation under high-vacuum conditions. The original bulk glasses and the films were characterized by electron microscopy with EDS, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and spectrophotometry. Open-circuit voltage (Voc) readings under incandescent illumination were obtained from the as-deposited and annealed films. Results from this characterization work are presented and discussed. Although the efficiency of nanodipole PV material structures, based on this material remains of no practical interest, our initial results indicate a possible path for the implementation of the nanodipole PV concept.
