Abstract

Nanotechnologies are entering every field. Nanoparticles have been widely used in medicine and technology. We decided to study the behavior of nanoparticles under the influence of light and its effects on solar cells, based on a number of properties. How gold and silver nanoparticles are introduced into the optical layer of the solar cell has been studied enough to affect the properties of the solar cell. However, the effect of silicon-based solar cell metal nanoparticles in the n domain on the solar cell has not been sufficiently studied. In addition, in this study, the properties of solar cells, which included nanoparticles of various shapes, were modeled. Since the end of the last century, new methods of modeling have been introduced into scientific research. A lot of modeling software has been developed. They are based on a numerical method. Synopsys program of Sentaurus TCAD software package was used in the modeling to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the research. Using Sentaurus TCAD, a model of a silicon-based solar cell with simple and various shapes of platinum nanoparticles embedded in the n field was developed. The focus is on determining the effect of the shape of a nanoparticle introduced on solar cells on its properties. The effect of nanoparticles on the optical and I-V characteristics of a solar cell is also analyzed in depth.

Highlights

Using Sentaurus TCAD, a model of a silicon-based solar cell with simple and various shapes of platinum nanoparticles embedded in the n field was developed
When the first solar cell was invented, its efficiency was less than 1%. 38% of the light falling on the solar element is reflection
We set ourselves the task of how a nanoparticle affects the properties of a solar cell when it is introduced into the n domain

Summary

Introduction

We decided to study the behavior of nanoparticles under the influence of light and its effects on solar cells, based on a number of properties. Using Sentaurus TCAD, a model of a silicon-based solar cell with simple and various shapes of platinum nanoparticles embedded in the n field was developed. The focus is on determining the effect of the shape of a nanoparticle introduced on solar cells on its properties. This allowed the solar cells to absorb more light only in the visible field.
