Abstract:Silver sulfide (Ag2S) chalcogenide compound can be a viable absorber in the applications of thin film solar cells owing to its optimum bandgap of 1.1 eV and high absorption coefficient. Herein, we propose a novel Ag2S‐based n‐CdS/p‐Ag2S/p+‐SnS double‐heterojunction solar cell. The numerical analysis of the device has been performed with SCAPS‐1D (Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator). In the case of single heterojunction, n‐CdS/p‐Ag2S manifests an efficiency of 19.75%, where VOC = 0.66 V, JSC = 36.99 mA/cm2 and FF… Show more
