Optoelectronic optimization of graded-bandgap CdTeSe thin-film solar cells by Faiz Ahmad, Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Peter B Monk

“…Hence, detailed optoelectronic simulations of these solar cells were performed to determine the effects of compositional grading and absorbing-layer thickness on power-conversion efficiency. The transfer-matrix method was used to calculate the electron-hole-pair (EHP) generation rate, and a one-dimensional drift-diffusion model was used to determine the EHP recombination rate, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, power-conversion efficiency, and fill factor. …”
