Effect of the MoSe2 layer at the absorber/rear contact interface on the performance of the cigs solar cell
Boureima Traoré, Soumaïla Ouedraogo, Adama Zongo, Issiaka Sankara, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Daouda Oubda and Francois Zougmoré
In this article, based on numerical simulation, SCAPS-1D software was used to investigate the influence of theMoSe2 layer at the CIGS/Mo interface on the performance of the CIGS solar cell. Analysis of the effect of the thickness and bandgap width of the MoSe2 layer revealed that optimum performance is obtained with a MoSe2 layer of 0.030 μm(...)

Bulk and Interface Configuration on the Performances of Perovskite Solar Cells
Issiaka, S., Ouédraogo, S., Oubda, D., Traoré, B., Kébré, M. B., Zongo , A. & Zougmoré , F.
The ongoing search for energy conversion technologies that are more efficient, affordable, and sustainable than traditional solar cells have led researchers to look at other technologies. Among these technologies, perovskite-based solar cells seem increasingly credible, as they have the potential to achieve high energy conversion efficiencies(...)

Enhancing Strategy CIGS Solar Cell Performance Through a New ZnSe Buffer Layer
Boureima Traoré, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Adama Zongo, Issiaka Sankara, Francois Zougmoré
In this paper, we use the SCAPS-1D software for the numerical simulation of the Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell with a ZnSe-based buffer layer. The study focuses on the influence of the ZnSe buffer layer on the performance of the CIGS solar cell. In this study, the analysis of the effect of the ZnSe buffer layer thickness revealed that optimum(...)

Effect of Defects at the Buffer Layer CdS/Absorber CIGS Interface on CIGS Solar Cell Performance
Boureima Traoré, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Daouda Oubda, Issiaka Sankara, Adama Zongo, François Zougmoré
This scientific paper presents a study investigating the effects of defects at the CdS/CIGS and CdS/SDL interfaces on the performance of CIGS solar cells. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of defects at the interface between the CdS buffer layer and the CIGS absorber, as well as the surface defect layer (SDL), on CIGS sol(...)

Influence of Defect Density, Band Gap Discontinuity and Electron Mobility on the Performance of Perovskite Solar Cells
Issiaka Sankara, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda, Boureima Traoré, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Adama Zongo, François Zougmoré
In this manuscript, we used the SCAPS-1D software to perform numerical simulations on a perovskite solar cell. These simulations were used to study the influence of certain parameters on the electrical behavior of the cell. We have shown in this study that electron mobility is strongly influenced by the thickness of the absorber, since electro(...)

Carbon Nanotubes in Water Treatment: Progress and Challenges, In Innovative nanocomposites for the remediation and decontamination of wastewater.
Wilfrida Nyanduko Nyairo, Victor Odhiambo Shikuku, Yacouba Sanou
Access to safe drinking water is one of the most pressing challenges in the 21st century. New and better
technologies for the treatment of wastewater are critically needed. Carbon nanotubes are emerging as
effective and environmentally friendly alternative adsorbents for water purification due to their porous
structure, relatively large spe(...)

Nonlinear optical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) thin films doped with Bixa Orellana dye
S. Zongo, A.P. Kerasidou, B.T. Sone, A. Diallo, P. Mthunzi, K. Iliopoulos,M. Nkosi, M. Maaza, B. Sahraoui,
Natural dyes with highly delocalized π-electron systems are considered as promising organic materials for nonlinear optical applications. Among these dyes, Bixa Orellana dye with extended π-electron delocalization is one of the most attractive dyes. Bixa Orellana dye-doped Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin films were prepared through spin(...)

Time-based investigation of the growth of VO2(B) micro- and nanostructures on vanadium by hydrothermal synthesis
B.T Sone R. Benoit S. Zongo R. Bucher, M. Maaza
In an autoclave partly-filled with water wherein a V metal strip is placed 70° to the horizontal we observed that VO2 nanorods and exfoliated microspheres were generally grown on the portion of the strip above the water surface while parallelepiped-like structures were generally grown on the portion below. XRD, HRTEM, showed that VO2 structure(...)
