The prospective application of a graphene/MoS₂ heterostructure in Si-HIT solar cells for higher efficiency.

ABSTRACT: The efficiency of a Si-HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar cell based on a graphene/MoS₂ heterostructure has been optimized by varying the various parameters of graphene (Gr) as a transparent conducting electrode (TCE) and n-type molybdenum disulfide (n-MoS₂) as an emitter layer. The photovoltaic performance of a graphene/n-MoS₂/a-Si:H/p-cSi/Au single facial HIT solar cell has been studied using AFORS-HET v2.5 simulation software. A maximum output efficiency of 25.61% has been achieved. The obtained results were compared with the results from a commercially available a-Si:H layer and p-cSi wafer after simulation. Moreover, the dependence of the cell performance on changes in the TCE and the back contact materials has also been studied. Fina
