(CFTS) solar cell is investigated in detail. Multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with different bandgaps ensure wider photon absorption of solar spectrum. Hence, MQWs made up of CFTSe/CFTS are incorporated with a variation in well size and well numbers. All the electrical parameters and optical parameters such as power conversion efficiency, quantum efficiency, and its dependence on carrier quantization are discussed in detail. More than 80% external quantum efficiency with just 2 QWs shows the efficient carrier generation and collection of the proposed structure. Device with 10 QWs of size 18/10 nm of CFTSe/CFTS can achieve remarkable efficiency of 21% with good trade‐off between J
sc and fill factor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
