Modelling and Simulation of Plasma-Assisted Carbon Nanotube Based Solar Cell
摘要
In the present paper, we have computed the efficiency of ITO, CdS and Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) based Solar cell. Here we have used CNTs as an absorber layer of the Solar cell. In the present work, CNTs have been implemented as an absorber layer which has been grown using Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique. CNTs are used because of variations in the Fermi energy level, which increase the solar cell efficiency, increase in carrier concentrations, and decrease in the resistance of the electron acceptor layer. The properties of CNTs like conductivity, resistivity, transparency, mobility etc. will vary with respect to various plasma parameters (e.g., density of electron (Neo) and temperature of electron (Teo)). Moreover, by varying the plasma parameters it has been observed that the efficiency of the Solar cell increases up to 37%.
