Electrical Behavior of Solar Cell Based on ZnO/PS
Journal Title: Transactions on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Because of high loss of photovoltaic conversion due to reflection of incident photon by the silicon surface, we proposed in this work a single heterojunction solar cell model based on porous silicon (PS) and Zinc oxide to minimize this loss, which the ZnO could act like front nlayer as well as antireflection coating saving processing cost and complexity. In the experiment the ZnO layer was deposited by spray pyrolysis method on porous silicon (PS) using nitrate precursors with different molar concentration. The proposed treatment has also demonstrated a significant decrease in the reflectivity of ZnO/PS. To simulate a solar cell based on porous silicon and zinc oxide, we have used PC1D software. The variation of internal and external quantum efficiency, and IV characteristics have been done by changing the reflectivity of ARC layer, The IV results obtained by PC1D simulation was compared with the experiment results: Simulations anticipated conversion efficiency was 14,5% while by experiments was 12% for the device fabricated with 0.25 M.
