SIMULATION OF SILICON HETEROJUNCTION SOLAR CELL USING TUNGSTEN DISELENIDE AS TRANSPARENT CONDUCTING ELECTRODE MATERIAL

Abstract

In this work, we are proposing a silicon heterojunction solar cell model and the simulations have been carried out using AFORS-HET software. The model uses multilayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2), a member of transition dichalcogenides (TMCDs), as the top layer of the solar cell, which is also serving as a transparent conducting electrode (TCE). Various parameters of different layers have been optimized to obtain maximum efficiency. The results have been analyzed graphically and finally obtained values of solar cell output parameters, along with the respective optimized values have been tabulated.
