The effect of the Gd/Sn composition ratio of CuSnGdS is examined. The films are fabricated on glass substrates in a sulfur atmosphere via the spin coating. The influence of the Gd/Sn composition ratio on the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the films is investigated using X-ray diffraction, FESEM, UV-Vis, and Hall effect. XRD patterns for the films revealed that all films have a monoclinic polycrystalline. The morphological and optical properties of the films show the formation of spherical grains and polygonal structures with an energy band in the range of 2.10-1.50 eV. The electrical properties of the films are changed by increasing the Gd/Sn composition ratio in the film. Furthermore, the CuSnGdS/CdS heterojunction solar cell was modeled by SCAPS-1D. The optimized conditions yielded exceptional photovoltaic parameters, achieving an open-circuit voltage of 0.7885 V, short circuit current density of 41.09 mA/cm, fill factor of 85.30%, and an efficiency of 27.3%.
研究了CuSnGdS的Gd/Sn组成比的影响。通过旋涂法在硫气氛中的玻璃基板上制备薄膜。使用X射线衍射、场发射扫描电子显微镜、紫外可见光谱和霍尔效应研究了Gd/Sn组成比对薄膜的结构、形态、光学和电学性能的影响。薄膜的X射线衍射图谱表明,所有薄膜均为单斜多晶。薄膜的形态和光学性能显示形成了球形晶粒和多边形结构,其能带范围为2.10 - 1.50 eV。薄膜的电学性能通过增加薄膜中的Gd/Sn组成比而改变。此外,用SCAPS - 1D对CuSnGdS/CdS异质结太阳能电池进行了建模。优化条件产生了优异的光伏参数,开路电压为0.7885 V,短路电流密度为41.09 mA/cm,填充因子为85.30%,效率为27.3%。
