Abstract
Ca3NCl3 has unique electrical and optical properties and shows great potential as an absorber for solar cells, offering a promising solution for enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. To determine the best device layout, this study uses a device combination of Ag/FTO/ETL/Ca3NCl3/HTL/Ni, including seven HTLs and one ETL with the SCAPS-1D simulator. To improve device configuration, consider variables including thickness, temperature, doping density, defect density, and series and shunt resistance. After optimizing device parameters, the Ag/FTO/SnS2/Ca3NCl3/MoO3/Ni device outperformed the other 6-HTLs (Cu2O, CuI, CuSCN, NiO, CuSbS2, and P3HT) based devices with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 28.13 %, an open circuit current (VOC) of 1.36 V, a short circuit current density (JSC) of 22.892 mA/cm2, and a fill factor (FF) of 90.36 %. This proposed solar cell has exceptional performance compared to conventional thin-film solar cells, highlighting Ca3NCl3 as an appealing solution for solar energy systems while reducing toxicity issues.
