Table 1 shows the electron mean free path for each of the various metals. The electron mean free path of a metal is the length of the path of a carrier without scattering in the metal. When the thickness of the metal film is larger than the electron mean free path, the carriers can not be obviously scattered and collided in the metal film, and the resistivity is lower. Meanwhile, referring to table 1, the material of the metal thin film 3 is selected from: at least one of cobalt, ruthenium, rhodium and indium. The electron mean free path of cobalt is only 11.8/7.77nm, and under the condition that the material of the metal thin film 3 is selected from cobalt, the thickness h1 of the metal thin film 3 is 11.8nm-15nm and is greater than or equal to the electron mean free path of cobalt, so that carriers cannot be obviously scattered and collided in the metal thin film 3 or an emitter, the resistivity is low, holes can pass through the carriers, electrons can be blocked, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved. The electron mean free path of ruthenium is only 6.59/4.88nm, and when the material of the metal thin film 3 is selected from ruthenium, the thickness h1 of the metal thin film 3 is 6.59nm-15nm and is greater than or equal to the electron mean free path of ruthenium, so that carriers cannot be obviously scattered and collided in the metal thin film 3 or the emitter, the resistivity is low, holes can pass through the carriers, electrons can be blocked, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved. The electron mean free path of rhodium is only 6.88nm, and under the condition that the material of the metal thin film 3 is selected from rhodium, the thickness h1 of the metal thin film 3 is 6.88nm-15nm and is greater than or equal to the electron mean free path of rhodium, so that carriers cannot be obviously scattered and collided in the metal thin film 3 or an emitter, the resistivity is low, holes can pass through the carriers, electrons can be blocked, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved.

The thickness h1 may be a dimension in a direction in which the N-type silicon substrate 1 and the first transition metal oxide thin film 2 are stacked. In summary, the thicknesses of the metal thin films 3 of the materials are all larger than or equal to the corresponding electron mean free path, carriers cannot be obviously scattered and collided in the metal thin films 3 or the emitters, the resistivity is low, holes can be favorably passed through the carriers, electrons can be blocked from passing through the carriers, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved.

It should be noted that x in the chemical formula is a suitable value that can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual situations. The electron selection layer 9 can greatly reduce the schottky barrier between the N-type silicon substrate 1 and the back electrode 6, so as to further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Meanwhile, the electron selection layer 9 made of the material has a smaller conduction band difference and a larger valence band difference with the N-type silicon substrate 1, so that a barrier is provided for hole movement, and movement of electrons is facilitated. The electron selection layer 9 of the material can also generate dipole moment, and the work function of the electrode is reduced through the nail removal of the Fermi level, so that the barrier height of electron transportation is reduced, the contact resistivity can be reduced, and the surface recombination can be reduced.
