Relative density of target material 97.80% 98.3% 97% 97.6% 98.10% 95.6% 96.1%
The results in table 1 show that the target material prepared by the invention has high density, and the relative density is more than 97%. In addition, as can be seen from example 1 and comparative example 2, the ball milling time in step (2) is too short to ensure that the residual target powder and the new powder are uniformly mixed, and the density of the target material is reduced. From the results of example 5 and comparative example 1, it can be seen that under the same vacuum hot-pressing sintering conditions, the compactness of the target material of the cadmium telluride thin film battery is reduced due to the excessive addition of the residual target powder.

From the results in table 2, it can be seen that the residual target powder has slightly lower activity compared with the new target powder, and under the same vacuum hot-pressing sintering condition, the bending strength of the cadmium telluride thin film battery target is reduced due to the excessively high addition amount of the residual target powder, and comprehensively, the addition amount of the residual target powder in the invention is preferably 10-25% of the mass of the new target powder of the cadmium telluride thin film battery.
The target materials prepared in example 1 and examples 4 to 5 were tested for impurities by ICP-MS, and the results are shown in table 3.
TABLE 3

Figure BDA0002511290600000091
The results in table 3 show that the target material prepared by the invention has high purity and low impurity content, and the target material prepared by doping the recovered residual target powder into the new target material powder can be used for preparing a thin-film solar cell.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and not for limiting the protection scope of the present invention, and although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
