Description

实现光子循环增强的多结太阳电池及其制作方法
技术领域
本发明涉及一种实现光子循环增强的多结太阳电池及其制作方法。
背景技术
太阳电池是利用光生伏特效应把光能转换成电能的器件,已广泛运用于航天领域、军事领域与民用领域。多结太阳电池,即级联多个子电池对入射光分段转换,是现阶段半导体制造与加工技术制约下提升太阳电池光电转换效率最有效的手段。目前,四结太阳电池在标准空间光谱(AM0光谱)下转换效率达到35.2%,在标准地面光谱(AM1.5光谱)下约37.4%;五结太阳电池在AM0光谱下转换效率为36.0%,在AM1.5光谱下转换效率为38.8%;六结太阳电池在AM1.5光谱下转换效率为39.2%。可以看出,随着结数的增加太阳电池转换效率得到了提高。但是,材料兼容性矛盾与制备工艺复杂程度随着结数的增加将大幅提升,而转换效率的增量趋微。
需要指出的是,多结太阳电池转换效率与其理论极限仍有较大差距。对单结太阳电池的细致平衡理论的拓展研究表明,通过能带组合与器件结构的优化设计,双结、三结及四结太阳电池的理论转换效率为45.7%、51.5%及55.3%;同时理论模型指出,在太阳电池器件内部实现最大程度的光子循环(photon recycling,PR),即除从器件表面出射外,辐射复合产生的光子均将被再次吸收并产生电子空穴对,从而增加光生载流子数量与载流子寿命,是提高太阳电池转换效率的一个关键因素。
近年来,通过在太阳电池外延层背面蒸镀金属膜层或特殊光学设计的介质膜层,构建背反射层限制辐射复合光子从背面出射,从而增强器件内光子循环,单结太阳电池的转换效率得到显著的提高。对于多结太阳电池,在子电池间插入背反射层,构建光学限制腔增强器件内的光子循环,亦可实现转换效率的提升。但其实现方法存在着两个困难:
首先,如图1所示,背反射层4必须是高度选择性的,在高效限制顶层子电池1辐射复合光子61(hν=Eg1)出射的同时,对低能入射光子52(hν<Eg1)无附加吸收,避免对底层子电池2的光学损耗;
其次,如何在多结太阳电池的子电池间插入背反射层,对器件结构设计与工艺实现均提出了很大的挑战。
现有技术中,由于需兼顾多结太阳电池器件工艺,子电池间的背反射器或光学限制腔对光子的选择性较差,对辐射复合光子的反射能力与低能入射光子的透过能力偏低,导致多结太阳电池开路电压提升有限而短路电流密度降低,制约着器件转换效率的提升。一个较为有效的手段是,对多结太阳电池各子电池独立进行光学管控设计并分别制备,再将独立制备的子电池通过介质材料进行粘合形成多结太阳电池。该方法在一定程度上可实现较好的光子光控,提升了光子循环效果,但子电池间的物理连接成为制约多结太阳电池器件结构及工作模式的明显的弊端。由于实现方法的先天限制,制备的多结太阳电池只能以四端模式工作,其各子电池处于不同的最大工作点,给后续的使用带来很大的不便。
