In this study, Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) is utilized to examine the properties of cadmium telluride (CdTe) based solar cell. The key aim of this study is to explore the prospects of enhancing the efficiency of CdTe solar cells by adding a high resistivity transparent (HRT) layer to the conventional cell structure. For that purpose, novel HRT layer structures are suggested in CdTe solar cells between a cadmium sulfide (CdS) window layer and transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer. Simulation results presented in this paper are from four proposed structures with three different HRT materials compared to the conventional design. The optimal parameters that offer the optimum functionality of the conventional design (SnO2/CdS/CdTe/MoTe2), with and without the HRT layer, are determined. Obtained results validate an enhancement in efficiency of the solar cell with Zn2SO4 as the HRT layer due to lower recombination loss and barrier height at the back contact region. The suggested cell with Zn2S...

高电阻透明 (HRT) 层对碲化镉太阳能电池的影响来自数值模拟

在这项研究中，太阳能电池电容模拟器 (SCAPS-1D) 用于检查碲化镉 (CdTe) 太阳能电池的特性。本研究的主要目的是探索通过在传统电池结构中添加高电阻率透明 (HRT) 层来提高 CdTe 太阳能电池效率的前景。为此，在硫化镉 (CdS) 窗口层和透明导电氧化物 (TCO) 层之间的 CdTe 太阳能电池中建议了新型 HRT 层结构。与传统设计相比，本文提出的模拟结果来自四种建议的结构，其中包含三种不同的 HRT 材料。确定了提供传统设计（SnO2/CdS/CdTe/MoTe2）最佳功能的最佳参数，有和没有 HRT 层。获得的结果证实了使用 Zn2SO4 作为 HRT 层的太阳能电池的效率提高，因为背接触区域的复合损失和势垒高度较低。建议使用 Zn2S 的电池...
