Photovoltaic devices have attracted much attention for decades because of their environment-friendly properties and renewable energy prospect. Solar cells with improved electrical properties such as augmented FF (fill factor) and J SC (short-circuit current) are investigated for sustainable energy applications. However, most of research studies focus on the change of materials and the addition of layers. Here, a novel cell with a tilted/nonflatted junction structure is proposed. A detailed study of the key electrical properties for the updated structure with the comparison with the conventional cell structure is presented. The nonflat interface between layers of the semiconductor devices could be extended to different layer interfaces besides the p–n junction, such as the interface between the top electrode and its subsequent layers. Such a nonflat design could be extended to other devices such as photoelectric detectors, lithium battery, capacitors, supercapacitors, and transistors. Simulation results show that the improved structure provides a simple alternative way to improve the key electrical properties for solar cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
