Enhanced CZTSSe Thin‐Film Solar Cell Efficiency: Key Parameter Analysis
This work presents a numerical simulation study on CZTSSe‐based thin‐film solar cells using Silvaco Atlas software, focusing on optimization and loss analysis. Starting from an initial power conversion efficiency of 12.73%, the ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe cell structure is systematically optimized. Through preci...

| description | This work presents a numerical simulation study on CZTSSe‐based thin‐film solar cells using Silvaco Atlas software, focusing on optimization and loss analysis. Starting from an initial power conversion efficiency of 12.73%, the ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe cell structure is systematically optimized. Through precise adjustment of layer thickness and doping density, the efficiency is improved to 18.75%. The optimal parameters are 2.5 μm (10
17
cm
−3
) for CZTSSe, 0.01 μm (10
18
cm
−3
) for CdS, and 0.02 μm (10
19
cm
−3
) for ZnO. Loss analysis reveals that increasing CZTSSe thickness beyond 2.5 μm leads to higher bulk series resistance, while thicker CdS and ZnO layers reduce photocurrent generation. Doping density significantly impacts open‐circuit voltage, while layer thickness primarily affects short‐circuit current and fill factor. Performance improves at lower temperatures, achieving 22.2% efficiency at 250 K. These findings provide valuable insights for developing high‐efficiency CZTSSe solar cells. |
