Abstract:
The binary semiconductor compound Molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) is For high efficiency and better thermal
stability, Molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) is considered as potential solar cell. AMPS (Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures) simulator is used to investigate the cell performance parameters for ultra-thin MoTe2 PV cell. In this research work, it has been explored that the cell conversion efficiency of MoTe2 PV cell is improved with the insertion of Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) as back surface field (BSF) above the back contact metal. The highest conversion efficiency of 25.29% was found for ZnTe BSF with only 0.7 μm of absorber layer whereas it was 17.06% for no BSF with 1 μm thickness of absorber layer. The thermal stability of MoTe2 PV cell with ZnTe BSF showed better stability.
Description:
International Conference on Innovations in Science, Engineering and Technology 2016 (ICISET 2016) was a multidisciplinary international conference organized by the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) of International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) in association with the Center for Research and Publication (CRP) of IIUC. The objective of ICISET 2016 was to create a unique opportunity for the scientists, engineers, professionals, researchers and students to present their latest research findings and experiences in the areas of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunication Engineering, Pharmacy and other relevant areas of Science, Engineering and Technology. The conference took place on October 28-29, 2016 at the green premises of IIUC located at Kumira, Chittagong. Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), a public university in Malaysia, was the International Partner of ICISET 2016. IEEE Bangladesh Section was the Technical Co-sponsor of the conference.
