Description

Light trapping structure of a kind of copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to photovoltaic technology development field, be specifically related to one and be suitable for light trapping structure improving Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells efficiency and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Low-carbon environment-friendly is the only way of human kind sustainable development, especially in the recent period " haze " becomes the highest word of the online frequency of occurrences, in the Executive Meeting of the State Council on February 12, directly saying without preamble of premier Li Keqiang: " will play assault of fortified positions and a protract war of administering haze." this is only a side portrayal, all aspects directly reflect that human needs develops new forms of energy and substitute existing fossil energy.From current energy source distribution, in a foreseeable future, solar energy power generating will occupy very important one seat in new energy field.In photovoltaic market product, be mainly divided into crystal silicon solar energy battery and thin-film solar cells at present, wherein crystal silicon solar energy battery is in occupation of 85% the market share nearly, although the content of element silicon in the earth's crust is fine, but need to expend a large amount of energy from the silicon purification technique of existing market feedback purifies, even bring the pollution of environment, from this view point, " environmental protection " of crystal silicon solar energy battery also need to give a discount.And thin-film solar cells is mainly to comprise silicon-based film solar cells, cadmium telluride diaphragm solar battery, copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell three classes, wherein Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells is to be developed by copper indium tin (CIS) the latter half eighties 20th century, gallium (Ga) is replaced to the part indium (In) in copper indium tin (CIS), form Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (hereinafter to be referred as CIGS) quaternary compound.
In thin-film solar cells market, CIGS is the most rising one as the thin-film solar cells of absorbed layer, and CIGS is the semi-conducting material of direct band gap, concrete excellent solar spectral response characteristic, and absorption coefficient can reach 10 -5cm -1, theoretical light photoelectric transformation efficiency can reach 30%.In the laboratory research stage, in March, 2008, U.S.'s regenerative resource laboratory (NREL) adopts the technique of coevaporation CIGS at 0.5-1cm 2in cellar area, obtain the photoelectric conversion efficiency up to 19.9%; In August, 2010, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the CIGS solar energy of German solar energy and Hydrogen Energy research center (ZSW) research reaches 20.3%, substantially approaches the peak efficiency of the polysilicon solar cell of existing acquisition.
Aspect study on the industrialization exploitation, in September, 2008, Japanese industries Technical Integration Studies place area is to have obtained 15.9% photoelectric conversion efficiency on the small-sized module of CIGS solar cell of 10cm x10cm; In December, 2010, (area reaches 1m to the large area assembly of the Miasol é of CIGS Thinfilm solar cell assembly manufacturer research and development 2) efficiency reach 15.7%, turned out to be the peak efficiency in current commercialization film assembly.
Structurally, the typical structure of CIGS thin-film solar cells is multi-layer film structure, total comprises base substrate, molybdenum (Mo) conductive layer, CIGS (or CZTS or CIS) absorbed layer, CdS transition zone, i-ZnO heterojunction N-shaped layer, AZO Window layer, MgF2 reflector and Ni-Al electrode layer, and wherein absorbed layer CIGS is the core of CIGS thin-film solar cells.
At present the technical research field of CIGS thin-film solar cells is main is embodied in following two aspects:
1. in improving photoelectric conversion efficiency, reduce battery/assembly cost, this art is mainly to rest in corresponding research institution and enterprise of several countries such as Germany, Japan and the U.S. at present.Because In, Ga material are very expensive, and annual yield and reserves all limited, world's year yield is 300 tons/year at present, especially, along with the fast development of LCDs industry since 2011, has caused the price of In sharply soaring.In order to reduce the cost of CIGS battery, American-European-Japanese correlative study mechanism and enterprise have started the research and development of slimline battery, reduce the thickness of absorbed layer CIGS.U.S. NREL corresponding cell photoelectric conversion efficiency while studying different CIGS absorber thickness, the small size battery efficiency of preparing on the basis of 1umCIGS absorbed layer is up to 17.16%, and is 0.75um at absorbed layer, and the Efficiency Decreasing of battery is 12.5%; When U.S. EPV obtains CIGS absorber thickness only for 0.47um, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of battery is 9.9%; When the CIGS absorber thickness of Japan Shell Solar research is 1um, battery efficiency is 12.8%;
2. in view of CIGS thin-film solar cells is most effective in current all thin-film solar cells, and the advantage of applying in architecture-integral and terminal consumption product market that thin-film solar cells itself possesses, therefore adopting flexible material to substitute hard soda-lime glass is also one of study hotspot in current CIGS field.Wherein, at the bottom of flexible substrates mainly comprises resistant to elevated temperatures polyimides (PI) material, stainless steel lining, the metal substrate such as titanium, molybdenum, copper.Adopt flexible substrates to combine with Roll-to-Roll technology in the market, U.S. NREL adopts coevaporation method, and the efficiency of having prepared small size CIGS battery in stainless steel flexible substrate is 17.5%; In May, 2011, the CIGS battery that conversion efficiency is 18.7% was prepared in Swiss Confederation's material science and technology experiment chamber on polyimides PI substrate.
From current technical research development progress and present situation, at least also there is following shortcoming about the technical research of CIGS thin-film solar cells:
(1). in order to reduce the cost of CIGS battery, the mode of taking is at present substantially all to improve in battery aspect, reduce the thickness of absorbed layer CIGS, but from result of study, CIGS absorbed layer is the most key core of CIGS thin-film solar cells, the attenuate of its thickness can make the efficiency of battery/assembly reduce by a relatively large margin, also mean, keep or promote and reduce costs obtaining compromise in efficiency, therefore cannot reduce from reducing the angle of thickness the manufacturing cost of battery/assembly from the technical merit of present stage;
(2). from the angle of CZTS battery, CZTS is a kind of semi-conducting material of direct band gap, optical band gap is in 1.45eV left and right, approach very much the ideal bandgap 1.4eV of photovoltaic cell, mate very much with the response spectrum of sunlight, than In, Ga, Zn, the Sn reserves in the earth's crust are all very abundant, but this structure battery at present temporarily still in laboratory to the pilot scale stage, still have many technical problems to be studied;
(3). from flexible angle, than the CIGS battery of hard soda-lime glass substrate, the CIGS battery of flexible substrate has a lot of advantages, and quality is light, flexible, be easy to carry, and in space, BIPV, has broad application prospects.But at present its efficiency still still lower, cost compare is high.
(4). in order to reduce the reflection of incident light in the Window layer AZO of top, in existing structure, be mainly to plate one deck magnesium fluoride anti-reflection layer at AZO, but magnesium fluoride film is very expensive.
