A Comparative Numerical Modeling of High‐Efficient CBTS Solar Cell Using SCAPS‐1D
Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.The highest efficiency achieved is 18.42%, 21.51%, and 21.6% for optimized CBTS/CdS/FTO, CBTS/SnS2/FTO, and CBTS/Cd0.1Zn0.9S/FTO solar cell, respectively. The results prove that low‐toxic Cd0.1Zn0.9S buffer layer provides best performance among all three buffer layers and SnS2 buffer layer also shows promising results.
