Abstract


Copper-zinc-tin-sulfide (CZTS) solar cells hold great promise in the production of solar energy.

A COMSOL Multiphysics simulation study of solar cells with cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanowires at different light angles is described in this study. The optimum diameter of CdS nanowires is 40 nm with a maximum absorption efficiency of 16.6%, a short circuit current density of 6.69 mA/cm2, an open circuit voltage of 0.69 V, is obtained at an angle of incidence of light of 0°.

Keywords: CZTS; CdS Nanowires; Absorption; Efficiency; Short-circuit current density; Open circuit voltage.
