Description

一种碲锰镉/铜铟镓硒叠层太阳能电池
技术领域
本发明涉及叠层太阳能电池,具体是指碲锰镉和铜铟镓硒叠层太阳能电池。
背景技术
目前如何寻求新材料、新结构来改善太阳能电池的光伏性能参数是困扰光伏工作者的最大难题之一。在对传统太阳电池研究的基础上,叠层太阳电池的研究备受光伏界的关注。
为了最大程度地有效利用更宽广波长范围内的太阳光能量,太阳光谱可以被分成连续的若干部分,用能量宽度与这些部分有最好匹配的材料做成电池,并按能隙从大到小的顺序从外向里叠合起来,让波长最短的光被最外边的宽带隙材料电池利用,波长较长的光能够透射进去让较窄能隙材料电池利用,这样就有可能最大限度地将太阳光能转换成电能,具有这种结构的太阳能电池称为叠层电池。
叠层太阳能电池的设计难题在于要寻找两种晶格匹配良好的半导体材料,其禁带宽度将引起高效率的能量转换。此外,在理想的情况下,电池导带的最上层应该有与底层价带大约相同的能量,这使得顶端半导体的电子被太阳光激发后能够很容易的从导带进入底部半导体晶格的孔(价带),电子在价带上又被不同波长的太阳光激发。这样一来,两部分的电池一起工作,像两个串联的蓄电池,并且总功率与两个电池的功率总和相等。但是,如果在接合处价带和导带没有被正确的匹配,当电子流过时就会因为由此产生的电阻造成功率损耗。例如,高效率的GaAs/Ge叠层电池早在1987年就制备出来了,结果证明由于电流不匹配而不能应用。另外就是实际应用中叠层电池的稳定性问题。
碲锰镉(Cd1-xMnxTe)薄膜太阳能电池是在衬底上沉积多层薄膜而构成的光伏器件。碲锰镉薄膜太阳能电池一般结构包括:玻璃衬底,在玻璃衬底上依次沉积有透明导电前电极、n型CdS窗口层、p型碲锰镉吸收层、背电极。这种结构的碲锰镉薄膜太阳能电池对光的吸收利用率不高。太阳光从外界依次经过玻璃衬底、透明导电前电极、n型CdS窗口层,最后才到达碲锰镉吸收层。受各层光透射率等因素的影响,部分光能被以上各层反射和散射回外界,或被衰减转换成热。同时,由于碲锰镉吸收层很薄,有部分光没完全被吸收而透过吸收层。
美国可再生能源实验室计算发现,叠层太阳能电池顶电池和底电池最佳的禁带宽度分别为1.7eV和1.1eV。碲锰镉的禁带宽度随x值可在1.45eV到2.46eV间连续可调。而铜铟镓硒(CIGS)薄膜太阳能电池的禁带宽度为1.1eV,而且具有较高的光电转换效率和良好的抗辐射性能,是非常适合做叠层电池的底电池的材料之一。
发明内容
为了解决传统叠层太阳能电池面临的晶格匹配等问题,以及碲锰镉吸收层对太阳光的不完全吸收。本发明的目的在于提出一种在透明衬底的二面分别生长碲锰镉和铜铟镓硒太阳能电池,构成一种碲锰镉和铜铟镓硒叠层太阳能电池。

所述的碲锰镉太阳能电池,由在透明衬底的迎光面上依次沉积的透明导电背电极、p型碲锰镉吸收层、n型CdS窗口层、透明导电前电极构成,所述透明导电背电极包括依次层叠的石墨烯层、纳米金属薄膜层以及墨烯层,所述透明导电前电极包括金属网格层和石墨烯层,所述透明衬底和透明导电背电极之间具有扩散阻挡层。
所述的铜铟镓硒太阳能电池,由在透明衬底的背光面上依次沉积的透明导电前电极、n型CdS窗口层、p型铜铟镓硒吸收层、背电极构成,所述透明导电前电极(6)包括依次层叠的石墨烯层、纳米金属薄膜层以及墨烯层,所述背电极(9)选自Mo、Cu/Au、Cu/Ni、Al/Ni中的任一种,所述透明衬底和透明导电前电极之间具有扩散阻挡层。
