Schottky solar cells leverage the properties of Schottky junctions, which are formed between a metal and a semiconductor. These junctions offer low forward voltage drops and fast switching speeds, making them highly advantageous for solar cell applications.
Plasmonic Schottky solar cells (PSSCs) combine the beneficial properties of plasmonic NPs with the established efficiency of Schottky junctions, marking a significant leap in photovoltaic technology 1, 2.
The photoelectric conversion efficiency of these Schottky solar cells is smaller than that of ZnSnN 2 heterojunction solar cells (0.37 % for SnO-ZnSnN2 and the maximum is 1.54 % for SnO-Al 2 O 3 -ZnSnN 2 ), due to the smaller short-circuit current density.
This paper explores the development of an opto-thermal-electrical model for plasmonic Schottky solar cells (PSSC) using a comprehensive multiphysics approach. By employing tools such as COMSOL, MATLAB, and SCAPS, we simulated the optical properties and energy conversion efficiencies of PSSCs with varying nanoparticle (NP) configurations and sizes.
