Stannous sulfide(SnS)was investigated as an absorbing layer for solar cells due to its suitable electrical and optical properties.Spiro-OMeTAD is commonly employed as a hole transport layer to enhance the performance of solar cells.The ZnS/SnS/Spiro-OMeTAD solar cell was designed and simulated by the wxAMPS software.The effects of the Spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer on the properties of solar cells were mainly studied,namely the effects on open-circuit voltage,short-circuit current density,filling factor,photoelectric conversion efficiency and quantum efficiency.The results show that the open-circuit voltage of the ZnS/SnS/Spiro-OMeTAD solar cells increase to 0.958 V and short-circuit current increase to 32.96 mA/cm2 when the Spiro-OMeTAD HTL is added.The fill factor and photoelectric conversion efficiency are 79.26%and 25.07%,respectively.The performance of the solar cells depends on the thickness of each layer,doping concentration,Gaussian defect state density,and temperature.The results demonstrate that the Spiro-OMeTAD,as a hole transport layer,is beneficial for enhancing various performance aspects of solar cells.Moreover,the ZnS/SnS/Spiro-OMeTAD exhibits a great potential as a photovoltaic device structure.
