摘要
通过理论模拟深入研究了SnS同质结太阳电池中的光生载流子产生、复合和输运机制。本文分别采用AMPS软件中的寿命模式和俘获截面模式研究了光生载流子产生和复合;在俘获截面模式的模拟中重点讨论了分立能级和Gaussian能级的复合对电池性能的影响。本文还对电池的光照非平衡态能带结构、内建电场分布和电流输运情况进行了对比分析。
In this work the generation,recombination and transport of photo-carriers in SnS homojunction solar cells are studied by numerical simulation.The lifetime model and capture cross section model in AMPS are adopted to study the generation and recombination of photo-carriers;in the capture cross section model we mainly focus on the analyses and discussions of the recombination effects of discrete levels and Gaussian levels on the performance of solar cells.In addition,the band structure under illumination,built-in electric filed and current density distribution are studied.
