24% Efficient, Simple ZnSe/Sb₂Se₃ Heterojunction Solar Cell: An Analysis of PV Characteristics and Defects.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a new wide-band-gap n-type buffer layer, ZnSe, has been proposed and investigated for an antimony selenide (Sb₂Se₃)-based thin-film solar cell. The study aims to boost the Sb₂Se₃-based solar cell's performance by incorporating a cheap, widely accessible ZnSe buffer layer into the solar cell structure as a replacement for the CdS layer. Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator in One Dimension (SCAPS-1D) simulation software is used to thoroughly analyze the photovoltaic parameters of the heterojunction structure ZnSe/Sb₂Se₃. It includes open circuit voltage (V _OC), short-circuit current density (J _SC), fill factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (PCE), and external quantum efficienc
