Numerical Simulation of High Efficiency Environment Friendly CuBi2O4-Based Thin-Film Solar Cell Using SCAPS-1D

In this research work, a copper bismuth oxide- (CuBi2O4-) based thin-film solar cell has been proposed for the lead and toxic-free (Al/ITO/TiO2/CuBi2O4/Mo) structure simulated in SCAPS-1D software. The main aim of work to make an ecofriendly highly efficient cell. absorber layer CuBi2O4, buffer TiO2, electron transport (ETL) ITO have used simulation. performance suggested photovoltaic devices was quantitatively evaluated using variations thickness such as absorber, buffer, defect density, operating temperature, back contact function, series, shunt resistances, acceptor donor density. is fixed at 2.0 μm, 0.05 0.23 respectively. CuBi2O4 produces efficiency 31.21%, open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) 1.36 V, short-circuit current density id="M2"> J sc 25.81 mA/cm2, fill factor (FF) 88.77%, It recommended that CuBi2O4-based can be potential cells are both inexpensive efficient.
