Design and Analysis of Quantum Dot Solar Cell Using SCAPS-1D Software
Abstract: Compared to conventional solar cells, quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) have drawn a lot of attention due to their hybrid structure, low production cost, and greater power conversion efficiency. Nevertheless, carrier recombination in the quasi-neutral region (QNR) continues to limit their performance. The electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer (HTL) are two of the layers that are most important in determining the overall efficiency of the device. The …

Numerical Simulation and Performance Characteristics of Solid-state Dye-sensitized Solar Cell using SCAPS 1D
Abstract: In this research article, we studied the optimization and performance of a titanium oxide (TiO2) working electrode for the manufacture of solid-state dye sensitized solar cell (so-DSSC). The structure of solid-state dye sensitized solar cell used in current work is composed of FTO/TiO2/N719/PEDOT: PSS/Pt. The only variable for simulation is absorber layer. The computational simulation findings indicate that parameters of solid-state DSSC such as VOC, JSC, FF and PCE are …
