As the world’s energy demand continues to grow, thin-film solar cells are poised to play an increasingly important role in meeting that demand. In this research, we have proposed and simulated a high-efficiency Cu2SnSe3- based thin film solar cell structure using a solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) software. The numerical performance of Cu2SnSe3 thin films solar cell with ZnO:Al as the electron transport layer (ETL), ZnSe as the buffer layer, SnS as the hole transport layer (HTL), Ag as the front and Ni as the back contact with the structure (Ag/ZnO:Al/Cu2SnSe3/SnS/Ni) has been studied. This simulation intended to investigate the effect of the ZnO:Al electron transport layer and SnS hole transport layer on the performance of the proposed solar cell. The device was optimized concerning the thickness, temperature, series and shunt resistance, donor density of the Electron transport layer, back contact metal work function, and acceptor density of the Cu2SnSe3-based thin film solar cell. The thickness of the ETL, buffer, absorber, and HTL was optimized to 0.2 μm, 0.05 μm, 1.5 μm, and 0.1 μm, respectively. The proposed cadmium-free Cu2SnSe3 thin films solar cell exhibited a conversion efficiency of 31.04%, VOC of 1.08 V, JSC of 34.11 mA/cm2, and FF of 83.84%. As a result, due to its low cost, earth-abundant, non-toxicity, and high efficiency, the suggested Cu2SnSe3-based solar cell may be an attractive candidate for thin film solar cells.

This study investigates the optimization of organic photodetectors (OPDs) using SCAPS-1D simulation, focusing on the effects of layer thickness, doping density, temperature, external quantum efficiency (EQE), and responsivity on key performance metrics. The device structure includes PBDB-T/ITIC as the active layer and graphene oxide (GO) as the hole transport layer (HTL). By systematically varying the thickness of the PBDB-T/ITIC active layer and the GO hole transport layer, as well as adjusting the donor and acceptor densities, we analyze their impact on open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current density (Jsc), fill factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (η), EQE, and responsivity. The simulation results reveal that an optimal active layer thickness of 800 nm for PBDB-T/ITIC and a GO layer thickness of 50 nm maximize device performance. Additionally, a donor density of \({9\times 10}^{19}{cm}^{-3}\) for PFN and an acceptor density of \({10}^{20}{cm}^{-3}\) for GO significantly enhance efficiency. The photodetector demonstrates a high current under illumination, peaking responsivity around 920 nm, and excellent performance in the visible spectrum. Temperature variations show optimal performance around 330 K. These findings highlight the critical role of precise material and structural optimization in achieving high-efficiency OPDs, providing valuable insights for future research and development in this field.
