Abstract

Herein, we present the simulation (using the SCAPS-1D program), of a bilayer absorber solar cell. First, we numerically studied the bilayer model using our experimentally observed parameters and investigated the results. The results from the bilayer absorber (SnSe/SnS) numerical analysis were then compared with a single (SnS and SnSe) absorber modeling. The optimized device with a bilayer absorber exhibited the highest performance, with a photo conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.35%. In comparison, the single SnS and SnSe absorbers achieved a PCE of 14.79% and 13.69%. Furthermore, we compared this numerical study with our previous study having the same configuration. Although there was a significant difference in performance between the simulated and experimental studies, the outcomes of the fabricated devices exhibited similar trends to the simulations. Finally, we attempted to determine the key parameters responsible for the reduced performance in the experimental study.
